I talked to a guy that was doing some work on the cabins in Parker dam during the first week of rifle season and he said he saw some real nice bucks that hunters had taken.How was the pressure out that way during bear season and deer season?I saw tons of guys in the woods during bear seaon over by the boyscout camp but basicallyno one during deer season.I killed a buck the second week of archery season so I was limited to hunt where I had dmap tags because I didn't apply for a 2G tag.I normally would have hit SGL 93 but had no reason to go there.I know several people that hunted it and did well.Mt one buddy killed a bear in there on the second afternoon.

This was probably the worst year I ever saw as far as bear were concerned.I never saw a bear all season and practically no sign.The acorns were spotty in places and the autum olive wasn't out in any of the areas I checked out.I did have a bear pushed to me on the first drive of the season but a lady on the other side of the hollow emptied here gun at it and turned it away from me.That was closest I came all year to seeing a live bear.

Iknow for a fact that the deer kill was way downin the areasI hit this year because no one was out there hunting.We've seen some nice bucks that made it through the season.I just hope they dodge the poachers bullets before next year.This was one of the worst years I've ever seen for big bucks getting poached.
