Title: Trouble sleeping.
Post by: Kain on August 07, 2011, 10:34:41 PM: Bear season does not start down here until Sat. Its gonna be a long week waiting for Friday night. Looks like its gonna be too hot to shoot one unless its right next to the road but Im going to go anyways just to get out there and look around.

So tonight to pass the time and because I skipped dinner I just fried up some rabbit hearts and livers with mushrooms. MMmmmm so good. :drool: :chuckle:

Put on more miles than I can count between the mountain bike and the boots. My legs are shot. :chuckle: Kept bumping into elk though so that is good.

Things are a little behind schedule this year, maybe they will be there soon. How were the berries/other food sources looking? What were they eating there last year? Keep after them its only a matter of time.

This year there were not very good either but better than last year. I saw wild strawberries, on almost every old logging road to. Just no bear showing up to eat any of them.
