The deer hunt this year has been tough. Opening morning found me, my 14 year old son, my brother and his 15 year old son in the South East part of Utah. We put about 35 miles on out boots the first three days to only see a few does and a lot of Elk. Tough deal for all of us. Needless to say the boys got burned out on the long walks and I got nothing but sore after having three shoulder surgeries in the last year. The one positive is there is very little hunting pressure. (Hmm wonder why?) Could it be no deer?
Early Monday morning we decided that we would go check a guzzler that a ways off the beaten path. We snuck down to it and wow, it looked like there had been hundreds of animals milling around. Deer, elk, a few cat tracks, some yote tracks and quit a bit of bear sign. We were stoked. It was decided that I would sneak down into the cedars and the other three would walk back up to the road and find a ridge to sit and glass. I waited for about and hour, it’s probably around 5 and getting cold. The wind kicked up and I decided it was time to find a new tree to snuggle up against. I was under that tree for less thank 5 minutes when I looked down between my feet and seen the bear poop. I kind of stepped my tow into it to see if it was fresh our not. Holy crap(no pun intended) it was still “mushy” just as I did that I hear a branch break to my right, looked up and there was the bear. We saw each other at the same time. The bear stands up and growls, I stand up and scream like a little girl. He runs one way, I run the other and we both run. When I got back to the truck, the boys were laughing so hard they had tears.
The next weekend we walked back down to “bear guzzler” in the dark only to find a group of boys scouts camped in the meadow. We spoke with the Scout master, He shrugged it off and told us not to worry about him, so we left. A little angry, but we left.
I ended up shooting a freezer 2 point on the way back to the ranch.
Sheesh, 6’2” 200 lbs with a 7 mag and I scream like a girl. Go ahead and laugh, it was pretty funny.
