Dick said they saw a nice bear, but it was late so they will keep at it.

Dang,, I thought that they had already connected. I was thinking; "Man that was a quick hunt!"

16 hours and no update, again with the humor warning. I fear the bears may have put a score up on the board.. NOT !

Yesterday: they put a track on a bear but didn’t hear later in the day. Track isn’t the right word here. They were getting closer to it. It’s all about the hunt! I think the bear was social distancing so as to avoid lead poisoning.

I think the bear was social distancing so as to avoid lead poisoning. Knowing Mark Hampton, he doesn't need to get very close to put anything down. He will not have to break any social distancing rules!

Am now trying to imagine a bear wearing a 3M N95 mask.. Will try to get pic of my Lab wearing mine. Always bring home, next days PPE. Work with Silica/Quartz last 40 plus years and wore 1000's of N95's to foulness..

Haven’t heard from the hunters for a couple days. There might have been some bad weather.

A thought and a prayer to a large gut pile, bloody hands, big smiles.

Gents,
Just returned home and catching up. Unfortunately we did not tag a bear but I sure did enjoy a great hunt with Dick. We saw elk, bear, mule deer, antelope, coyote, ect. I had an opportunity one evening from 406 yards and missed. I should tell you the shot was taken from a steep incline - in an unorthodox position, across the canyon but a miss is a miss from any angle. I learned a long time ago you don't necessarily have to tag out to enjoy a great hunt - and this was a great time with a fellow handgunner! For the record - this is not my first unsuccessful hunt (didn't kill) and more than likely it won't be my last. But overall - we enjoyed a great time and I appreciate Dick putting up with me.
I'll tell you a bear story later when I've had time to recover. Well, let's just say when you see a bear step out exactly where you were standing less than an hour before -(twice!) it tends to work on a guy!

It sounds like a very successful hunt to me!
