I'm so busy with other stuff this season has really snuck up on me.  I'll hunt the first weekend hard then I'm off to new York for a week.  Would be nice to put one down early this year.

Me too.  I'm scouting for elk the first weekend but I'll take the rifle "just in case".  I don't believe the bear population in my elk area is too great though.

It'll likely be mid-late august before I'll have any solid findings I'm guessing.

Hopping on the bike this week to go check out an area that I have high hopes for. I wanted to do it this last week but its been to dang hot! Just going to have to buck up and start super early so I can cover ground while its still cool.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

Between 1 and 2:00 on the hottest sunniest days above 3,500' have been some of my very best bear hunts.  I have no idea why they want to be out in that heat.  You'd think a black animal would stay clear of the hot sun :dunno:  Maybe the nice warm berries are just too much for a hungry bear to pass up :chuckle:

I'm really excited.  First year with a tag, found a couple berry patches hopefully things work out.  Not sure if I will use the bow or 300 win mag yet though.  Just have to see what presents itself I guess.  I would like to get one with the bow.
