Nice looking bear!  Last fall, while deer hunting, we saw bear sign all over the place up by Thorn Creek Butte above Idaho City.

Thorn Creek is right were we hunt there are piles of Bears up there we treed a bunch of different bears until we found one that was big enough to dump!! I am amazed how many there are up there!!

When we were sitting on a hillside early one morning, I was glassing the draw down below us... kept seeing something, but the light was still poor.  As the sun came up, I realized what I saw were to bait barrels!  Then we moved a bit and I saw the tree stand that had been left there.  It wasn't in too good of shape... don't know that it would have actually held a full grown man!

Yup i know the exact spot that tree stand is still up there! A Outfitter put it up over some of our baits to try to draw off our work!!
