Title: Will he be there in the morning?
Post by: bowman on August 12, 2010, 10:36:59 PM: Saw this guy tonight at 600 plus yards. Sorry for the quality of the picture. We watched him for 2 hours and he didn't move 30 yards. How long do you think he'll stick around? Will he be there in the morning? Either way I'll be up there!!!

What I would do is go to about where you saw him last and if he is not there start calling and he my wonder in. When I do spot a bear off at a distance I will typically call with a fawn in distress, and about 85% of the time they have started wondering towards me. I'll let the bear cut the distance, you can call me lazy :dunno:, but I call it smart :IBCOOL:

Post by: Galpster on August 13, 2010, 08:33:55 AM: lEFT AT 01:49 - I sure hope he gets him. I can almost bet he didn't sleep at all last night. The hunter, not the bear, LOL.

Post by: bowman on August 13, 2010, 10:13:01 PM: Well.... nothing. I went out early and made it to the clear cut after a 2.5 hour bike ride. I watched the hill side for as long as I could without being late to work. We didn't see anything so we decided to pack up and head out. On the way out I almost hit a bear....with my bike :yike:. I went down a steep hill and as I crested the top there was a bear and he took of down the road :bdid:. The problem was I was riding down the road too but I had a headstart and I was going faster. By the time the bear got off the road I was skidding behind him at about 5 yards trying to stop. Never did see it again.

I had to work today from 10 to 6 so my dad and I went out again tonight and nothing.

I'm trying to get a hold of one of my buddies to go with me again in the morning. I'm tired...Still running on no sleep.

It's a 2.5 hour bike ride and impossible to go through the bottom of it.

Still looking for my first bear!!!
