[QUOTE="The Trinity Kid, post: 1380574, member: 91382"] December 29. I got out around 1:30 to a new place. Some friends of mine had a bear get into their chicken coop this week, but their land borders huntable forest. When I got out, the fog was beginning to burn off, but it was still pretty thick in a lot of places. This first picture shows the side of the hill I climbed from the truck.[ATTACH=full]86938[/ATTACH] This next picture is from about 50 feet up, looking back at the truck. It shows how bizarrely the fog was pocketed.[ATTACH=full]86944[/ATTACH] From the top, I followed the ridge for about a mile. The whole time, the only bear sign I saw was a pile of scat that I'd guess was over a month old. Not a good sign.[ATTACH=full]86946[/ATTACH]This next picture was of the river, primarily. Though I did glass that closer ridge for a few minutes.[ATTACH=full]86947[/ATTACH] This is Mount Shasta, and Trinity dam in the foreground.
