[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1482702, member: 7999"] For me, the bears are just there. They are in the back of your head a bit all the time. If you think too much about it, you can't enjoy yourself. We keep a clean camp, put our food in a tree, and go about our business. I always see fresh bear sign when in the back country but don't very often see the bears. They want to see me less than I want to see them. They really don't want to be bothered. You start spending time in the National Parks and around them, the story gets different. The density of the bears is so high and the amount of people that they encounter teaches them that people are a source of food. Hunting around Yellowstone, the bears have learned that gun shots mean meal time. They have learned to go to gun shots because there will be at least a gut pile there. It is highly recommended to hunt in pairs and if you get an animal down that only one guy should work on the animal while the other stands guard. I prefer not to hunt in griz country, it takes some of the fun out of it. Hunting where there are not griz a guy can relax more. This Mission Wilderness mule deer tag puts us square in one of the biggest griz populations our state has to offer. The good news is the country is very rough and far less people make the trip into the wilderness. These bears are much more wild. Steve [/QUOTE]
