Title: No bear yet, just some pics of current adventures
Post by: saylean on August 10, 2011, 05:09:40 PM: Have gone out only once serioulsy so far, but it was alot of fun. Seen a coyote (possibly called in, no shot), couple deer called in and heard what I believe to be two bears ripping stumps apart (he just wouldnt come out of the woods).... Should be a good year for bears. Plenty of food, nice and cool etc....Enjoy the pics...I put some on here for both the poo crew and the stump humpers. These stumps were all hit pretty fresh. Most of the stumps in this area were hit. It was pretty neat to see, as previously, there were not that many.

Called in two black tail deer. So far, RRcall (the elk horn special with the bear claws on em) are up two to nothing against the Spitfire. The flower pic is eye level where I was hiking about...so they were quite tall and very pretty. Lots of black berries (wild vine runners, low to the ground), hucks, salmons and stumps....good times. Love bear hunting!

Kind of interesting since the area I've been in has all kinds of berrried, huck, salmon, wild strawberries, and blackberries. They must need a little variety and maybe some bug/grub protein.
