Today's Find.... Black Bear!!!
I was scouting out an area that has a bunch of big stacked stone walls.. thinking there has to be a cellar hole someplace... well... I put my machine down and climbed up on top of a big rock..10' or so.. to look around.. and about 30' to 35' down the mountain from me was a Black Bear!! we have seen prints.. and other people have seen then.. but i had not... I didn't smell him and he didn't smell me because we both jumped!!! So.. I fired three shots into a big oak tree about 10' away and by mutual consent he decided to go one way while I went the other!!! I always have my Nikon D200 in the jeep but it was way to far away to even try to get a shot.. plus.. well.. he surprised the heck out of me!! Needless to say... the digging was over for the day!!! They look a lot bigger in the wild then they do at the zoo... and a 9MM seems really... really small at that point too!!!!
