The three of us are driving west this afternoon to meet James at his place and from their the four of us, loaded down heavy with camera gear are headed for the backcountry.
We will be packing rifles which is a change for me. Hopefully I can actually hit something with one :dunno:
I will be posting pictures (hopefully some success) as soon as I get back.
Wish the Fearsome Foursome luck! :IBCOOL:

Good luck hope to see a nice one hit the ground. Send me the GPS coordinates of your trail cams and I will check them while you are away!! :P
Would you seriously do that for me?

Good luck and be safe. Don't shoot any lab sized bears. ;)
Well to be honest, we plan on hikeing a long ways in to hunt, so lab sized would be much easier to pack out! :)
plus, we got all the good camera gear with us so we can always just make a small bear look big ;)

Just do my favorite where the hunter crouches 20' behind the bear for a telephoto shot! Nevermind if the bear's nose is bigger than the hunter's head!

After hiking WAY into the high country and finding there were no berries ripe, we hunted for a couple days and hiked back down and searched the low country. Bearhunters oldest even came out with us for a afternoon.
Here are a few pictures.
As you can see, the hunt ended VERY well for my truck :bdid:
