Man I don't know where I've been but just read the entire thread.  I was looking around the room for those song dogs & fox.  Great hunt so far...I'm tuned in!  Doc

Now where was I? Oh! I remember.   ;)  

Anyway I'm talking to the ranch owner and the subject of grizzly bears comes up. Pretty soon this guy is telling me about the agressive actions of a griz that lives in one of my all time favorite canyons.

Got my attention right away!!  :scared:  I've been hunting that spot for about the last 30 years and never had to worry or even put any thought into the presense of grizzlies.

I thought for a while about just finding new territory, but damned if I'm gonna let some silly old bear run me out of my sacred place.

We'll see how the hunt plan goes from here out. I may not be making any before daylight trips up into the canyon. Good visibility in daylight sounds like the ticket to me.

So to conclude this tale about the last couple of days let me say that we have more plans for the local varmint population and hopefully with a more cunning approach.  :p  

Since I'm feeling a little under the weather tonight we pretty much took it easy all afternoon.
Except for a small run in with a skunk out in the sage brush.

Lets just say they are a lot faster than they look.

We did get a picture of this fella on the way in. Seems he reduced the local muskrat population by one.  
 

Last we saw of him he was wolfing down huge chunks of Mr.Muskrat.

Charlie,

Might as well consider all of it grizzly country now.  Supposedly game and fish "officially" confirmed a grizzly sighting near the area 92/94 border, so in my opinion they are probably south of that already.  Keep your eyes open and a clean camp.

Well, I'd love to post some exciting news, but there isn't any. Today was a take care of business day and was spent in Jackson Hole... one of Vance's computers locked up tight and that's where the repair dude is.... Vance took it out to the shop this morning and I heard a bunch of banging and yelling, but when he came back the computer was still in one piece and so was he.

We decided to let someone with a more "delicate" touch do the actual repairs.

I did some scouting on the ranch up the road and while it all adds up to success somewhere down the road, nothing was bagged.

Saw about a bazillion sage hens in the late evening and a new world record badger but no insult passed at either as seasons aren't open on them just yet.

Nate... I kinda figured there wasn't anything holding that bear (or any other) in that one drainage and am sure there are many more than are actually talked about.
Just makes a guy a very alert hunter.

There will be more to report tomorrow so don't get discouraged guys (Jason).  :D

I know them boys are just having too good of a time to tell us everything. Heck, when you're in paradise with one of your best friends, who has time to get on the computer?   :bigsmyl:  

Enjoy it brothers....savor the moments.

JC,  Charlie and Vance are just so full of HUNT that it spills out of 'em.  That's how we get it here on the magic box, they get up early, hunt hard, share memories, and still got enough HUNT left in them to share it with us.  THANKS VANCE AND CHARLIE!
