Title: so heres a question
Post by: Instinct on May 13, 2012, 02:39:21 PM: Found a couple huge bear scats yesterday when hikeing bout 3ft from each other. Do you think that crittter will stay in the same general area when season comes around or bug out of the area? What is a typical bears range in miles?

Do you have any new pics? Are you going to post them? Did you put cool things like keys, cell phones, bullets, your hand, etc on the ground next to it for reference? Was it fresh? Moist? Dry? Any hair in it? Bones?
