It's hot here in Northern California so my boys and I are climbing high next week to chase deer, bear, and hopefully a grouse or 3 with our stick bows and backpacks. On a scouting trip last week, I saw 22 blue grouse in 2 days. We're also bringing fly rods for a high alpine lake that has brookies and rainbows. Camp is 5 steep miles in. Leaving Tues. and coming back Sat. Hope to share some stories with ya'll when we return. Hunting season 2017- Here we go!

This is one of 18 bears that I have seen this year on previous backpacking trips in the wilderness area where we will be:

Nice......have fun and good luck.

Nice! I'm also going to hunt NorCal this year for the first time but in general season with my recurve (not because I want to but just can't go early enough because of family duties). Saw some fresh tracks of deer on my scouting trip a month ago and saw like 5 doe beds not far from a feeding area.

We are lucky that NorCal has some very fascinating backcountry lands. Good luck and have a great time!

Best of luck, be safe and enjoy. I'll never forget you as the best host a fellow could hope for.

Doug Treat · « **Reply #15 on:** August 20, 2017, 10:29:00 AM »

Danshao, have fun. It's usually much nicer weather in the general season. Hopefully, you will be in a spot where you don't have to compete too much with rifle hunters.

Wayne, thank you. Very kind. It was not hard to host gentlemen like you. I do really miss our elk camp.

Just got back from our adventure. No animals harmed but I did call in a bear. He spooked at about 50-60 yds. Will post a few pics. shortly. I think the rest of the season will be front country stuff.
