capoeirajosh Report post Posted October 1, 2014 Glass, glass, and glass some more. If you find a viable food source, you should find bears. Glass the food. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

archermatt Report post Posted October 2, 2014 Thank you for all the tips leaning towards the waterholes or calling... Just had knee surgery last Wednesday so that might be my best option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wdenike Report post Posted October 2, 2014 PEOPLE!!!!! :o Just kidding, Elk that never made it to the freezer, prickly pear, bugs, acorns but next to none of them this year. Pretty much scavengers. Good luck!! Take care, Willie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
