Have been out a few times, lots of scat on the roads and lots of bears in the clear cuts and on the logging roads. All are on the small side and not what I am looking for. Only the 7 footer once in a lifetime shooter bear will do for me. I probably will never see one like that, that I can shoot and that means I will pass on lots of bears. I have seen one bear that seemed to be the one on private land but I could not take him as I did not have owners premission to hunt or shoot on his property. He were a magnificant bear for sure. His belly was almost on the ground, he was a chocolate browney and he had shoulders that were wide and powerful and he was big and round like 4 55gal oil drums.
I watched him for about 20 minutes feeding in the middle of a field on grass totaly unconcerned as he new he was untouchable. I guess I was less than 100 yards away from him. It was a pure pleasure to watch this old boy and I am sort lf glad that he was safe and I did not shoot him.
