Like I had posted before, my son and I headed out to SGL 86 for the Monday of regular bear season. We had a plan for me to work a drainage up the mountains towads him while he made his way to the head of the drainage. We had never been there before and were using the Game Commissions SGL topo maps. There was alight dusting of snow and our plan worked perfect. About 3/4 of the way up I cut freash sign of a bear eating acorns. I slowly made my way up and into some thick saplings interspersed with boulders. I was almost at the head of the drainage when I here a loud gun go off right above me. You guessed it, a 150# bear was working his way in front of me and right towards my son and somebody had come in from the other side of the mountain and said, "Wow, this is only my 3rd year of hunting and this bear walked right to me!" Oh, well, it was a good plan and close!
