Massive tracks.
The shells in the photo are 7mm Rem Mag and when I measured at home, shells in this position were a bit more than 6 inches across
I did some editing and the tracks were older so claw marks are hard to make out, but I think the blue circles are where the claws were.

I know there's guys with *a lot* more encounters that I on here, my closest encounter is meeting one on a corner in a road with blowdown so thick it'd be nearly impossible to get off the road and go around.
He roared super loud (I mean LOUD AF) and buggered out, but I didn't know if he was still there or not, I had no choice but go and see.
I didn't see him, think he got my wind.
I hunted his bedroom area for a few days, took hair off his scratching/territorial posts, he didn't seem to roam all that far really, figured he'd be 30 miles away, but I kept running into fresh sign.
Elk hunting sucked there, so we moved on lol
I've seen plenty off in the distance, but that was my closest encounter while not in a vehicle.

give it a decade or less, they'll be moving south and all over 49 degrees north/mt spokane area. theyre working their way into washington from idaho/montana and canada
There are several in 49 already, I’ve seen trail cam pics from from friends.

They’ve been here a very very long time. Nothing new to NE wa. Maybe new to Kelly area?
