Thank goodness for a slow start. We only heard one shot on September 1st and believe that only one bear has been taken near here. Hopefully it is not a bear we know well.
We heard nothing on September 2nd and nothing so far today (8 PM) with shooting hours about to end. .
On a lighter note, my friend Dick Larson took this picture only about 11 miles from here this past winter (February 6, 2022) from a road. I don’t understand it. How could it be? This area has never seemed to be the place where the wolf will lie down with the deer unless one is eating the other. But they say there are exceptions to just about everything. Two wild animals.
Thank you for all you do,
