Post by: herddoe on December 28, 2011, 06:23:15 AM: we were too. we expected it to be bayed up. but when we got to the dogs. there was nothing. the trees were to tiny to have a bear in it. so we took back to the road. and then we heard trees breaking. and turned out. then it treed in a big pine. the 200gr. 30-06 bullet didnt even come out of the other side...tough drag thats for sure

Just have a lot of roads from logging so it always seems like they tree by a road. Garmins are awesome for showing the closest roads to the tree.
