But when it did get nice I have been able to find a few bears.. With improving weather I look for things to pick up substantially...Excited for that.. Six bears seen so far with 2 decent boars...Just decent, and with the best part of the season coming up,NOT shooters..LOL A short video of what happened so far...

Looked from the pic to be about 6' small. Dark chocolate. If I ever take a blackie for hide rather than meat, it will be a dark auburn. Nothing else is worth the mount-money to me. They look better alive than dead anyway. But I lust after an auburn color phase. Last edited by las; 04/23/18. The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

Still too much snow to get to the top, but watched one boss old bear for a while at 1126 yards. Too late in the day to cross the river and climb the 1000' or so to get to him. I'll be back. Couple flip phone photos of the snow and alder thickets. There were some tracks around, but none fresh in the snow.

I've been carrying the 26" barreled 38-55 that I put together a few weeks ago. Today I took the 358 carbine because it has sling studs and I anticipated crossing that stream and needing my hands free. Trying to get over the top from the north side to the south by three different routes. Chained up all 4 and buried the Jeep. Saw two fresh sets of bear tracks but could not call anything in today.

Saw 30+ bears and could have shot many more. Was looking for a brown one for her second bear. Saw one really big old sow that might have got shot if she didn't have cubs with her. Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

I'll put on 5 or so miles each time I am out, but it is more to burn calories than anything else. Bears are not my favorite thing to skin or eat Lots of elk and deer made it through the winter though, which is always good to see.
