catclaw Report post Posted April 29, 2009 Any of you guys been out on the spring bear hunt? I spent two days in 27 and glassed up 3 bears. I saw 70 mulies, 3 whitetails, 20 turkeys and 18 sheep. I saw upwards of 500 elk! None of the bears were shooters so I passed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snapshot Report post Posted April 29, 2009 I spent 2 days in 27 last week. Saw about 20 mule deer, 10 whitetails, a handful of turkey, but no bears or elk. I was alot further south and east in the unit than I normally go. I was just checking out some areas that I wanted to see, and was not really hunting.

willhunt4coues Report post Posted April 29, 2009 Well I can top that. In three months about 24 days out in the field I have seen about 5 bunnies, 6 jack bunnies, 2 chupacabra, 1 eagle, 1 bearmanpig, 2 KKK members, and 1 naked guy riding a bike. None were shooters though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw most of the elk driving in the early mornings. Saw a grouse which is the first one in 2 years for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Browning'sCustomMeat Report post Posted April 30, 2009 I found some new scratches on trees from a bear(s), about twenty trees total, while turkey hunting last week. Plan on putting a camera out this weekend. I'll post when I get some pictures. -Jeremy- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
