While we are on the topic of bears or dangerous animals in general. We were camping at Airport flats 7-8 though the 11. We killed 3 baby rattle snacks in the camp. So keep an eye out everyone where ever you are up there cause it is snake season also!

I used ammonia this last weekend in Rubicon Springs. Not sure one actually came by the area I was in but there are there and hungry.

[BEAR]

Yea, Yea....This should come up every season because we get the same issue every year.

They are hungry this year and causing problems everywhere.
My G-mas house in Georgetown has one that keeps trying to get in her house and here is a pic from my trail camera the other night in my back yard.
Both are mom's with baby's.

The little one down in the springs was busy and brave. Hit almost every campsite from Dirty Dozen to the other side of Mark's cabin. Did not get much from us but sure made a mess of the 90wt. Funny, bear never bothered our site again after chewing on all my 90wt.
Sorry I missed ya Crash, would have liked to see you guys.

we were camped at the sluice box monday night and had a bear get into the back of my buddy's truck twice. then the fallowing night we camped at the springs and had a bear walk up within 40 feet of our camp at about 6 in the evening.These bears are not afraid! lol

Nice shot

Almost ran one over a huge one the other morning (~10am!!) as it ran into my backyard no tracks or shit I could find to see where he went off too though.

I need to get some batteries back in my game camera

Guess I should add to this by saying we recently killed a large rattler too. They are out and they are ACTIVE this year. Mid-day heat this one was scooting along my driveway until my puppy almost become lunch

The bears, rattlers, and gophers are out this year

My wife and I got hit at Buck on Thursday night....Yogi got my action packer and my cooler.....He was up to my hip (I'm 6'7") big bastard. We first were awakened by him around 1 am. He returned multiple times between 1 and 530 am. Thank you to everyone that gave us some food, we thought after that our trip was a wrap but because of all the great people on the con' we got to enjoy our whole trip like planned......

Saturday night at Buck Island ripped the top of my good ice chest off got some food and was gone. Had the ice chest in the back of a toyota pick up strap down

[Pat]

All these yogi sightings and no pics?

[Black01taco]

damm, this is the most bear activity i've heard about in years on the con..
But with the late winter and hevy snow pack, it makes sense..

[miguelitojeep]

Well hopefully no one gets hurt.

Those that have spotted Yogi. Are you guys hanging your coolers from a tree or anything like that?

(knock on wood) we have never had an issue with bears, but sounds like there is a good chance we will see yogi in 3 weeks.

[Brandon]

dang, this dummy just camped at wentworth - only tent there and it was just me and my son with a tent full of food..

oooops...

must have been near a rattle SNACK den !.... sorry i couldn't resist

we were with squirrel Bus and his wife when they got hit at Buck thurs and expected the same the next night except the place got real crowded and i dont think our neighbors ever went to bed.... some dumbass was playing "ring of fire" at 6:30 the next morning LOUD about 20 yards from our sleeping bags..... would rather have bears than some people

[NorCalPR]

Question: I've heard mixed sayings about coolers in the back of truck beds, with a tonneu cover/camper shell.

Still ok under that, or should everything still be hanged?

[rok-jeep]

This guy was at Buck last year. Great looking bear too. These were taken early morning, after he ate breakfast.....or ate my breakfast I should say.

That bear being that brave is going to look real good on my living room floor this winter!

Yeah he was a beautiful cinnimon color and he would've made a great rug. He couldn't have cared less that we were there.

I took a pic of my buddy and his kid with the bear in the background.

[Yota Up]

What a great picture. Should have it printed full size and give it to him in a frame to hang on the wall. Right on.
