2010 Bear hunting
May 16th, 2010Just one hunter in camp today, my good friend Tim who usually comes each fall for archery elk season. His hunting partner Russ will be showing up tomorrow night. Anyway Tim and I convered a lot of country today both driving and on foot and spent a lot of time with binoculars to our eyes. At the end of the day we had seen about 25 elk, countless mule deer, a dipper, a ton of fantastic scenery and last but not least, one very beautiful blonde color phase black bear. He was a young one and probably only a hundred pounds or so, so we let him go. He is ceartainly one of the most beautiful bears I have ever seen, Alaska included. You shoulda been there.
