During elk season(first season)we encountered one after I shot a 4 point bull. He had dragged the rib cage about 60 ft. away and took a swipe at the hams we had hung in the tree. Still have the elk bag with the claw marks. The bear ran out as we got there the next morning. Never saw him again. Did see some tracks down close to the Oregon mines trail. :smile:
Went with a friend who drew a tag last spring. Took our horses and glassed a lot of the south facing slopes. Concentrated on the McClelland area. Saw one bear in 5 days. If I was to do it again I would go the last week of May. I'm sure we were too early.
Thanks for the info guys. I've hunted Desolation during the spring hunt and got one 2 years ago. Looking at new ground. It was the only bear we saw in 3 srping trips there.
