Hunter’s Journal

While scouting our new ranch for elk I got to watch this sow and her two cubs for an hour or so.  Bears being bears at a young age is mostly funny.  As they have no idea of depth perception, and that there is no way to go out on that limb and not crash to the ground.  Many times I watched them tumble to the ground while they grasped for one more handful of berries, not that they cared because apparantly they have way more spirit than sense and were back at it as soon as they hit the ground.  Mom didn’t care and just gorged herself selfishly unaware of her kids.  I told Chanse to grab one by the nose just to see if she would notice.  He declined…..it’s hard to get good help these days. 

OK so August is here and I will be more consistent with my daily posts for you over eager souls that can’t stand to wait a month to get out here.  I’m headed out tonight as I need to figure out where a mule deer is watering for Jolie and Rachelle so they can continue their success in 2007.  We are getting rain everyday so that will likely be challenging, water is everywhere. No kidding I can’t believe season is already here.
