[QUOTE="WYO300RUM, post: 2639071, member: 32631"] Last year I was backpacking up Deer Creek trail head from South Fork (Shoshone River). I had about half mile of switchbacks. I was seeing bear tracks all over. Some had little cub tracks with them. Scat all over. Some dark bloody and green looking like eating guts. I got to top where it just winds along the side of mtns. Then goes in to Thorofare. On my right was STEEP side of Mtn. I couldn't of got up it. To my left straight down half mile to Deer Creek. Almost like a cliff. I don't think you could walk down and it would drop off anyway. The trail is maybe 4 ft. wide. Bear tracks going up and down it. I went about a half mile and got the grizz creeps. Got them 3 times last year. I thought if a bear and I met on this trail it's not going to go well for one of us and I don't want it to be me. I turned back and headed down trail to truck. When I got there the F&G had put up a yellow beware bear sign. Said dead horse 1 mile up trail. 😳 I bet I was close to it and very glad I didn't see it. Probably a grizz lying on top of it. 2 years ago , another story. I told it here once. I got the grizz creeps. I just glad I had my male Chesapeake with me. He's my ears. That day is when I decided I'll never hunt without a pistol again. The North Fork is more heavily wooded. Way more bears. Funny, two days later I ran into the guy I bought an English Lab pup from. He was selling a couple pistols. He had a brand new Glock 20 10mm . I said I'll take that one thank you ! I know, I promised no stories 🙄😉 [/QUOTE]
