Well, my bear season is off to a not too bad start. The weather was hot, and my walk in to my spot is about 30-35 minutes, so I was a bit sweaty. The bears are feeding in some apples, and like I thought might happn they were in there before I was, so I ended up chasing one off. Actually he I heard him tree, but rather than look for him I moved a bit and set up. About 45 minutes later he came down, and I caught a look at him as he slipped away. After that, nothing.

I might have some time on Friday to head out again. I have another spot I'll try up hill from a river and a swamp. I think I'll try sitting in a blind next time too.
