Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted September 7, 2011 So we decided to go check out an area that we enjoy, did some hiking and taking pictures. We set up camp about noon just before it rained. Waited out the rain and went hiking. Had just a great time, found a couple of sheds, nothing great but hey, a shed is a shed right. Got back to camp, we were wet, building a fire getting ready for supper and all the sudden Cole finds this guy coiled up about 5 feet from our food stash. WOW, our dog Daisy didn't even stir this guy up, he was cold. Just the same, not fun finding a rattler in camp. Bad picture, but he is in there. Spent the next day hiking around looking for sign and possible hunting ideas. Rained on us again that evening then all night long drizzle. Absolutely beautiful out there. Breaking camp the next morning and this critter decides to pay us a visit. My wife spotted the bear first and put us all on high alert. Again, Daisy failed us with no warning but maybe that was a blessing in disguise. The bear was about 50 yards from camp, seemed as curious as we were as it just strolled on by. What a beautiful animal, glad we were able to view the bear with no incidents, we were prepared but what a breath taking adventure. I really do enjoy getting out and seeing what our forests have to offer, would prefer to not see the rattlesnakes, but the bear, turkey and deer, man it makes it hard to go back to work the next day.
