I'm back from my week of bear hunting. I was in the woods for 9 days. It is hard to come back to buildings and traffic. I didn't get anything, but it is nice to be off of work and don't have any schedule except you better be in the woods a couple hours before dark.

I saw one on opening day but he was only 150-175. probably around 200 live weight and I was looking for something a little bigger. you can't shoot the big one if you keep shooting the little ones...atleast that is what I tell myself We had 6 guys at camp and 5 of us saw bears. some more than others. It was a weird year. People every where and I was sitting in my stand and it was over 90 degrees. I think the people bothered the bears the most. They weren't that hungry and it picked up at the end of the week after most people left.

I put my trail cameras out on Sunday on a part of the land I deer hunt on that I haven't ever had a camera on yet. Hopefully they show me some good stuff. Bow season start here on Saturday, but I may try to sneak up north again and go after the bears again....that season goes into October. I'll see what the girlfriend has to say about that.
