Title: When you least expect it.
Post by: WoodHacker on September 06, 2021, 08:12:37 AM: I think Steven Rinella said, "The one thing you can be sure of when hunting bears is, they will always do something you did not expect."

A friend and I hunted 'high and low' in units 111 and 117 for 11 days without finding any fresh bear sign. Then, when a part of Umatilla National Forest opened, we headed there. I took a bear in less than 20 hours after arriving! Now this bear walked up to my deer feeder a few miles from Colville, WA in unit 117. It probably crossed my driveway where I could see it from our trailer. (second tag is in my pocket)

Does that camera have "invisible" / black LED?
