4 day bear trip

[srupp]

Just got back from a 4 day bear trip..rained and blew the entire trip..well maybe 2o minutes of sun in the 4 days....

Saw a couple of nice silvertips and a big brown grizzly...all were 7 foot bears...:shock:..lots of rabbits this year..and snow is melting FAST...floods all over the Horsefly area..

Saw 8 black bears non big enough to cut a tag.

Saw a BIG cougar...moose and deer and WHITETAIL deer

Bigbore 14 came up for 2 days..no big bears for him either..

Way up at 4400 feet elevation I was riding the quad past a stand of trees when something "large AND BLOCKY and red went through the trees and headed away..I tried to see what the hell it was it was as big as a moose..perhaps 7 feet tall...just a estimate of being tall and blocky and perhaps 500 pounds...

I did see several live moose (and 3 winter kills??) and they all were the normal colors...I have never seen a moose this reddish type color..and there are no elk up there...the movement was smooth and I shut off the machine and glass ed the area never seen anything more...and I was not interested in going up for a look,..:redface:..I do not know what it was I am totally stumped...I saw maybe 4 seconds..

One more outing for bears in a weeks time...

I was talking with my psychiatrist...er one of the guys from work and he said he has seen "redish ' colored cow moose in the spring..

I need to take up drinking so I have an excuse for "seeing things":oops: maybe ALI could teach me????

I am NOT saying it was a Sasquatch..I am not sure what the heck it was...

great trip...

I guess you didn't check out the tracks, eh?

Maybe you've got elk moving in to the area?

Definantly a sasquatch:biggrin:

I'd say you saw an elk Steven. Elk are showing up in places previously unoccupied every year.

They're like a bad weed, spreading further and further south. You will never get rid of them.

I recall moose used to be virtually non-existent throughout the Chilcotin!

sounds like a great trip

It could have been a moose going through a change from its winter coat or a big mule deer ???.
