Bob: No, I was in a treestand in an aspen tree. Usually when it is hot the bears like to come into this very small, spring-fed waterhole and cool off during the middle of the day. I shot a bear at this same location last year at about 3 PM. I probably had 50 hours sitting on this stand so far this year including a couple of 14 hour days (6 AM to 8 PM). I am hunting at a fairly low elevation (8400 ft) where the oak brush and aspen meet. This bear came in behind me in the brush at 11 AM. I first saw brush moving where he was getting berries. He came by at about 6 yards through a small opening in the brush.
