[QUOTE="Kenster-Boy, post: 83339, member: 2330"] Well Jr, I would have loved to go with ya but I already bought both of my deer tags for the B zones. Good to hear that you got a bear and a buck last year. I did see a TON of bucks this year. They were all from 800-1175. I didn't shoot over 900 as I figured that it was slightly too far. In retrospect this was the first year that I have ever seen a legal buck on opening weekend. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] And I saw 9 to boot. I tell ya if it wasn't for the steep uphill shots I would have filled my tags by now. To be honest I would have loved to have been able to sneek within 500 yards but with the location of the bucks that I saw it just wasn't possible. It is a really steep hill and once you get on the hill you can't see but 100 yards. The only open spot to look at the hill is from a meadow at the bottom. The hill is shale rock so you make so much noise going up there that it just isn't possible to get on the bucks Especially the big bucks. I have seen 5 bears so far this year and haven't been able (or haven't wanted to) shoot one yet. 4 were back in the wilderness and I didn't want to pack them out. The 5th one was digging up a bees nest and I din't want to have to deal with a dead bear laying under a swarm of ****ed off yellow jackets.

Oh and about the elk hunt. I AM NEVER GOING ELK HUNTING AGAIN!!! it was the worst hunt of my life. I hunted for 11 straight days and didn't see a SINGLE elk.
