Repairs completed

Went out today and spent the day putting the stand back together.
It looks like the bears were back since I was here last.I could tell by the mess they made inside the stand,and I caught one on the game cam .

He's been climbing up the tree and stepping on the downed tree to get in so I sawed it more than half way thru.

Next time he tries it he will be in for a supprise!

Never let a bear know you have twinkies

Well I went out bow hunting again this afternoon, and when I got to my stand I saw that the lunch theiving bastages were back while I was away for one day. Two nights ago I had to chase the whole family off, and they came back after I left and vandalized the joint. This is the before picture. And this is the after video.

More Bears approching

Here's another video of the bears coming down the hill towards my stand.
It's a little shaky from the zoom, and me trying to keep track of where all of them were at the same time.
they got a little to close for comfort, so I chased them away before one tried to climb in with me.
one actually climbed up the ladder and ate my lunch while I was away last week.

It's bowhunting season and all I have been seeing is Bears, bears, bears!

Below are some of the pics. from my game cam.

A day in the woods

Went out bowhunting Yesterday and was greeted by a family of bears just before dark.
There is one big fellow in this group probably arround 500 lbs.

They have been here before going as far as climbing the ladder to my tree stand
and eating my lunch while I was away.
They got a little close for comfort and it nearing dark I had to chase them away.







one day I had the trail cam up in the stand and one climbed up and took his own picture

The old cabin at Mountain springs

It's been a few years since I sold the old hunting cabin up at Mountain springs,so I decided to take a ride up that way and place a Geocache.
It did my heart good to see that the new owners are taking such good care of the place.
They have not changed one thing since I left,and it was cool to see it again,and remember all the good times we had there.
It was perfect with the new snow too.
