With one elk down, I spent a couple days getting her into the freezer. I made it back up on the mountain on Wednesday night looking for a bull and a bear. I went into “My Canyon” on a very cold Thursday morning and saw tons of bear tracks in the two day old snow. After a couple miles of hiking on hard and very noisy snow I couldn’t find anything moving around. I made my way back to camp for lunch. During lunch, a couple friends stopped by and told me they had seen a huge bear a couple days earlier. I took their advice and headed to the area where they had seen him. I was off my wheeler for about 15 minutes, working my way to where they saw the big bear, when I spotted my bear. He was feeding 86 yards away. He had no idea I was there so I took my time and found a steady rest and took my bear at 80 yards. One shot took him down, he went about 5 yards. It was a very easy pack-out because I he was only 300 yards from where I parked. I got my bear all packed up and put on the wheeler and I headed back into the woods looking for a bull. I spent the next two hours not seeing anything. That was the end of my hunt but I was happy. Two out of three tags filled I drove my bear back to camp loaded up everything and headed back to town….. Successful hunt’s a great year so far…
