Nothing like the thick cape on an October sheep. Try again next year. Looks like you're on them.
Well done on the g'bear.
That snow is a risk / reward addition to your hunt.

Good pics, nice bear.
The Rocky Mountains is the Marrow of the World"Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. "Make your life go here, son. Here's where the people is. Them mountains is for Indians and wild men." "Mother Gue", I says "the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world," and by God, I was right. Keep your nose in the wind and your eye along the skyline."

Hey - two questions for you. How did you find that stove worked for you in the cold? I've used a white gas MSR stove for years that is a snow melting machine, but my ultralight cartridge stove just doesn't cut it once the temps get below 0. Do you have trick for keeping that stove pumping out BTU's?
Second - ten iches of snow overnight sounds like a good start to high avalanche hazard. Did you guys plan for this ahead (bring avi gear) or take a less exposed route home? Those tracks through the shallow bowl gave me the heebie-jeebies! A little wind loading together with an early season snowpack. . . you've got the makings of trouble there.
Looks like a great adventure though!
