capoeirajosh Report post Posted August 27, 2013 My buddy was up in 24 and didn't see much. Saw something that looked like a bear, but wasn't 100%, and saw a small bear. Saw more hunters then bear. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

papa Report post Posted August 29, 2013 Was in 24A since Thursday not one bear. Put a lot of hours behind the glasses from timber camp to haystack. Saw a ton of rattle snakes. Were you in the 5th wheel up by Hay stack if so we met Thursday night. I was the guy with the Queensland Healer camped in the 5th wheel past Griffin ranch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was nice to meet you and your wife, we ended up running into your son near the haystack ranch. We glassed and called hard for 5 days and never saw a bear! Oh well there is always next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

willhunt4coues Report post Posted September 3, 2013 Saw one great bear Sunday morning and by the time i got into range (700 yards) I was able to get my scope up and see him top over the hill. I still needed to dial in the scope but man it was a close one another minute and I would have had a shot. Have only heard of 1 bear taken in 24a and I believe it was a boar.
