Dan H Report post Posted August 14, 2006 Didn't even see any sign. 23 was tough the pears seem to all be at the bottom and only in certain areas. Hope its still open on the 26th won't get back up there until then. Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coues7 Report post Posted August 14, 2006 Been lookin in 24b.....some sign but it's old. My buddy went to 23.....same story as Dan H. Absolutely no sign. It does sound like you and muskrat at least saw some stuff....by the way the pics were amazing. That area looked really good so I'm not surprised you saw 2 bears. I have to say thanks for being rational hunters and not just smoking 2 small bear just so you can say you killed a bear! We need more guys like you that actually wait for a good one to come along.

40-year-AZ-hunter Report post Posted August 16, 2006 A friend of a friend took a nice blonde with cinnamon boots and stripe on his back in 23 Was your buddy's bear a boar or a sow? So far the hotline does not show 23 as closed. Sounds like guys are having very mixed results. Bruce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
