We were walking up the trail (1118) heading towards the crest trail and he just happened to be standing there. He was 52 yards away then walked closer to get a better look at us. He was a really pretty bear. Had long hair and a cinnamon head. We guessed him to be around 200lbs. But you never can guess bears right so who knows how big he really was. I'm almost glad he didn't turn broadside because that would have been a long pack.

Today produced the same results as the last few with no elk talking. We did see a REALLY nice bull that will easily go over 300. We've been seeing a lot of turkeys over there too this year. Maybe tomorrow will be my lucky day. I'll let ya know how it goes.
