So, wednesday afternoon, me and my buddy were out hiking around in region 2 near harrison lake. We decided to take a stroll down a deactivated FSR spur. We hopped off our ATV's locked them up and started down the road. About 60yards or so away from the ATV's my buddy stops to take a piss. He is facing a long sloped area of random rock debris.
He calls over to me, "is that a bear up there?" . I pull out the binos, and sure enough there is a good sized bear that appears to be dead leaning against a rock with its head slumped over it. The eyes were still open, so the jury was out on what exactly this bear was up too.
We are probably about 50-70yards away on the road. So for about 12mins or so, we are taking turns watching this bear with the binos looking for any sign of life. We are making lots of noise, talking loudly. Shouting a couple times. This bear is DEAD still.
We had camped about 1km away or so the previous night, and i remember hearing a single gunshot at 10:45pm. And instantly my brain figured some kind of shenanigins had gone on here that involved this dead bear. After a while we say **** it, and head along down the old road watching the bear the entire way until it was out of sight.
We get to the end of this old closed off road, turn around and walk back to the ATV's.
The bear is gone. What, the , ****.
Here are a couple more photo's.
