Coach Report post Posted September 3, 2011 Started this spot a few weeks back and it's proven to be a good location. In the past 10 days I got over 970 pictures. Mostly it's the same 10 or so cow/calf/spike elk but I've gotten some good pictures of the local bears. I knew I had one "strange" colored bear on there but didn't have any good pix of him. He's got a cinnimon body and a very black face. Finally, I got pix of his mom, so I know where he gets it. Enjoy...Here's the young bear. Now, his mom, with 2 new charcoal black cubs...one is right under the camera. Getting cozy on the salt - the indention holds water so they like to lay in it... Here's a sequence I really like. Check out the time stamps on the photos... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted September 4, 2011 Just the three. I've got quite a few pics of that group and she's got just the two cubs. The other bear in the area is clearly hers from last year - cinnamon body with a black head. On Thursday when I pulled the card and replaced it with a new one there was no salt left at all, so today my oldest son, Matt and I refreshed it with 80 lbs of salt and 40 lbs of corn. The new addition in the past 2 days is a group of turkey (8, young birds from this Spring). Still had some elk, but they were discouraged by the lack of salt and resorted to licking my camera. The young boar was also there 1/2 hour before we replenished the salt and corn. I tried out my new backpack (Lowe Alpine Saracen) carrying 2 40 pound bags of salt, and it was great - looking forward to my NM coues backpack trip. Got a new bull in there, but he's just a 5x5. Hopefully the big boys will be coming in this week. I've heard that the bigger bulls are starting to show up in 3C, so I'm thinking they won't be far behind here. I did hear my first bugles on Thursday night so it's definitely starting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
