Well, it was the opener today for bear. It has been snowing since yesterday and we have several inches of fresh wet snow. I was out looking for tracks, but no luck today. We are supposed to have rain tonight and tomorrow, so the snow will not last. Once it clears up, I'm sure the critters will be out looking for easier food. All last week I had a bear leaving his scat around my spot. Hope he will be back while I'm out there. This is my first year bear hunting and I'm going with the recurve.
