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...
