70 Cal.
I'm back! It was fun, but no bear!
The main thing encountered was rain, rain, rain!! :shocked2: Spent four days in my hunt area and it rained two days solid and the other two days it rained half the day. :barf:
Some of you may remember that I resolved to take more pictures this year. No dead animals, but here's a few pics and captions.
Stopped to fish on the way up. Pretty little lake but it would not give up a fish.
Upon arrival at camp found the fire pit had been pulled apart by a scrounging bear.
A couple deer encountered during my rambles.
This was a pretty nice buck but it was a 250 yard picture shot. You can probably make out some of his rack.
Name the animal!
Here's the view from a couple of my bear look-outs.
This valley and the hills around it were loaded with elk. They got into some serious bugling at night. Some within a hundred yards of camp. Tends to keep a guy awake!
Here's more weather moving in.
there had been a lot of bear activity in the area up until about a week before my arrival. All the poop was old like this. Don't know why they did not stick around. Berries were still abundant.
All of my hunts involve some dutch oven cooking.
And finally, what does this say about the coming winter?
Hope you all enjoyed the pics. Despite lack of bears and wet weather it was great to get away for a few days.
