Title: High country bears!
Post by: Whitenuckles on July 12, 2010, 06:31:22 PM: Went up to the high country last weekend and had a hell of a time! We saw countless amounts of deer, but the high light was the bears. We were lucky enough to have this guy about 150 out from our tents right before sun down. Then when we woke up we had a really a light colored bear fighting with a big black one! It had to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen in nature. I just though I'd share.... Im pumped for August!

Is that what they were doing? I figured that would happen later in the year.

I wasn't there... :chuckle: but it would be my guess.
They breed late spring/early summer.

How were the berries looking when you were up there?

They haven't even budded yet. There was still a ton of snow. In most places the foliage was only a few inches high.
