    Hunting & Fishing "Adjusting" foliage on the avenue of approach to my bear hunting spot?

    I'm using the Tac Tailor 2 piece MAV with dump pouch, two 3xMag pouches(hold electronics well) 70 oz camelback in tac tailor hydrobag, and my SSILK (a 173rd ABN first aid kit). They're still dirty as hell from OEF VIII and X, but it turns out it works freakin awesome when you're moving through...

    Or that. That's still a helluva pull. My talent seems to be picking the worst time to go whenever I try, but with my research obligations and recon for critter hunts, I'm lucky if I get a day to go fishing. Hell, I haven't even managed to spend more than a day or two trout fishing this year...

    it had been raining cats and dogs for three days straight. Definitely going to get some five gallon buckets, fill them with emergency supplies, and hang them in the trees this winter.

    Good to know, Charvey. Thanks. So I went out there this morning, repositioned the camera, and nearly had a bad aquatic experience. Will post Video and Pics within next 24. They're pretty hilarious. Found some pretty awesome sign, and it looks like we may have found a better way to access...

    Hunting & Fishing "Adjusting" foliage on the avenue of approach to my bear hunting spot?

    I have two A5's out there right now. Only thing I've run into that is a problem so far, is that if you use that Moultrie picture viewer thing to copy the photos off of your TrailCam's SD card, then delete them off of the card, the SD will no longer work in your trailcam. So right now, I've...

    Hunting & Fishing "Adjusting" foliage on the avenue of approach to my bear hunting spot?

    Well, it looks like I suck at placing trailcams. Only got one picture of a bear. the rest of them are shots of wind. mondo sad face. I'm going back out next weekend with a buddy who has more experience with trail cams to reposition both of them. Didn't see any new sign on any of the...

    Hunting & Fishing "Adjusting" foliage on the avenue of approach to my bear hunting spot?

    I always bring a Moleskine notebook and a pencil whenever I go into the woods to draw maps and take notes. I did the colored pencils in my laboratory this morning (sometimes pictures can't fully explain what a pine tree cell undergoing mitosis looks like). The "Bear den" is a guess as to what...

    Hunting & Fishing "Adjusting" foliage on the avenue of approach to my bear hunting spot?

    Here's the map. elevation is in feet, each line equals a change in El of ten. the dark green on the hills is Picea (Spruce), the green surrounding the stream and creek is Alnus (Alder), and the light green is Calamagrostis canadensis (a high-protein tall grass that bears eat when there is...

    Man, I wish you had hit me up 24 hours ago. got about half the stream cleared yesterday. most all of it is dead alder, I've only cut one or two green shoots. Luckily, I stopped trimming about ten yards before the first crossing though. we'll see next week whether there's any change in...

    UPDATE: Got my Harvest tickets from ADFG, and I'm heading out tomorrow morning to put up some trail cams, then camp out in a Spruce tree for the night while overwatching the area. I'll post pictures if anything awesome happens.

    Hunting & Fishing "Adjusting" foliage on the avenue of approach to my bear hunting spot?

    Interesting. Chopping up the alder would increase my chances of getting a bead on the sucker though, and enable me to drag stuff/dead bear in and out from the hide site. That stream's the only way through It's a hair-raising experience being in that alder bramble, once I get those pictures...

    Howdy So this past weekend I found my new bear hunting spot while scootering around on my packraft. Unfortunately my camera passed away in its sleep last week, so no pictures until I get my disposable camera roll developed. General description of the terrain: I approach the site via...

    Hunting & Fishing Caribou Hunt?

    Just paddled Eagle River from The Nature Center all the way down to the Glenn hwy yesterday, lots of trees in the upper half, but they disappear about half a mile before Briggs Bridge. Tell you what though, the rain we've had has done some good work on the rapids below briggs. got pretty wet...
