A bear hunt with you guys is HIGH on the to-do list.  One of these years...    :pray:

Wolves..

Someone walked here
 

Someone  ate  here, maybe they were hungry as ...
 

As here in Norway, the general consensus seems something like this (i cannot subscribe to that view, but we are all different)
 
What i now DO agree on, is that a pack of wolves up close can be  somewhat disconcerting if not downright scary. And tends to lower the morale. Especially when sneaking out from that bait at dusk...

Good job on the pics Ted.. Sorry that I'm no help. I ended up booking two extra hunts I wasn't expecting and I've been out scouting and doing prep work for todays arriving group.
Keep the pics coming. I'll jump in where I can. Just don't ask for pics of the bear I killed.  :confused:    :help:

CK, too much small platform tree stand shooting... get those feet shoulder width apart and unlock those knees. Or, pay no attention to someone who only wishes he had your accuracy.

Looking forward to some bear blood trails. Keep em coming.
