Finally saw a bear!
I went out after work tonight and spooked a mid-sized bear that had just a haze of brownish tint to it. It was in an old clear cut and spooked when it saw the truck. I parked and went to investigate. Couldn't see much evidence of activity other than where the grass was being eaten (and could hear the bastid making for Idaho).
I left the truck and walked about a mile up the road (ungated). On my walk back I got busted by a bear of similar size just up the road from the other. This one didn't appear to have the brown, but the lighting was different. I think it was the same bear.
After reaching the truck, I drove up just past the turn around of my walk and parked. I walked and sat in the clear cut at this new spot. Just befor dusk, the wind shifted down slope and all hell broke loose in the woods. Pretty sure I got winded by a bear - kinda hope it was the same one just 'cause it would be funny.
