well, elk and bear is officially over with nothing but tired legs to show for it.

but I did kick up a bear about 20yds in front of me just off of a trail, was heading up a very steep section of tongue mt trail and he took off into the thick stuff, mowing down trees as he went. Could not get a shot as I only saw him for a split second.

Ran down the trail where it opened up a bit but he was long gone. Kept after him for the rest of that day and all the next day but no dice. He left a fresh dump right where I had spotted him also, it was still steaming!

late buck goes from thursday thru tomorrow, might go out on private property and see if I can find some horns yet...
