Berries are looking great in the high country blueberries and huckleberries everywhere. Lots of bears up there. This one tastes and looks excellent, got it on tuesday.

Nice bear..  love the view as well.

Congrats!
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Well story goes, I have been going to the same basin in late August for the last 5 years aside from last year, I think I have got one up there every year within a quarter mile of eachother. Its a long walk into the wildrness, around a 23 mile roundtrip with 4K elevation gain. Lots of work for a bear but sure is a fun way to spend the day. Me and my father sleep at the trail head, wake up at 2:00 AM hike through the night and make it to the lookout by 6:30 or so. Spotted this one where we always do, put about an hour sneak on him and got right above him. I have no clue how big he, but I am happy. Then we make the looooong pack out.

So.....typically new members give up at lease one honey hole. However, it sounds like it is such a sweet spot and I'm to lazy to hunt it anyway you get a pass. Sounds like a gem of an area. Congratulations again and I'll be looking for more pics and posts of critters.

Thats a Pretty Bear.  Every time a see unique animals (especially Bears) like that my mind automaticlly goes to work thinking up cool ideas for mounts. 

That Bear reminds me of this one I did a few years ago.
