Title: Bears still claw trees
Post by: littletoes on September 06, 2009, 04:00:45 PM: Well guys, how many have been seeing trees like these, haven't found a bear tree like these in a few years, was glad to see them though, right were I've spotted bears in the past, but didn't have a chance for a shot (yep, left the rifle in the rig-don't make too much fun of me, I'm sensitive). :bash:

There were a few more trees with marks on them, some a year or two old, by the way the sap looked. Rain soaked us today, and the wind blew so hard, don't think my call was much good. Don't like to have it turned up too loud.

I should have rotated the second pic, but didn't think of it till too late.
