Title: 2 Guys in Black Ranger on Hwy 20
Post by: robescc on September 07, 2010, 07:15:59 AM: Yesterday, Monday, I met 2 guys on top of the pass about 11:30am. I pulled over to glass a big meadow and they had beat me there and spotted a BIG bear 2/3 of the way up. He was every bit of a 6 footer but probably bigger. They took off after him and didn't see them again. I hope you got him. I was so jeallous as I had my wife and 2 y/o daughter with me and probably couldn't go for him :bash:

We had a good weekend in Winthrop. Saw a few legal bucks in my honey hole and limited on some big Blue Grouse every day.

You actually entertained the thought? You're a bigger man than me. I'd have got my ass kicked for even thinking about it! :dunno:

Just about mid way down the hill coming west from Washington pass. He would have been big for a cub. Certainly weened. The weather had just turned to crap so I didn't stick around to see if there were any others around.

This is funny a friend of mine just told me about the Wa pass story it must have been you he was referring to. No they didn't get the Bear

I wouldn't have gone after him without them. I was going to offer them mine so at least the shooter could get close to him, but then I would be out $75.
