Post by: NW-GSP on June 11, 2011, 03:36:26 PM: saw one bear today but it was while I was driving and it was off into the brush before I could blink. Saw five elk two were bills in velvet, one 4x4 and a 3x3, I stalked them till I was within 100 yards but I'm pretty sure they winded me. Going to figure out wher to go for the evening hunt.

Post by: NW-GSP on June 14, 2011, 03:29:14 PM: Rich I had no idea that hound guys went there, that is prob the reason I have been told that the bears there run like crazy when they see a vehicle.

Rick you did help me out allot with the tips you gave me, Im looking at couple of different spots to hunt this august, I cant wait to call one in with the calls you gave me.
might try to this wensday.

I want to thank everyone for the tips and advice they gave me, made a huge difference in the hunts that I made this spring
