Bear Baiting 2011

I had a great time this month assisting the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife with their black bear study.  We went out a few weeks ago to place the baits and went back today to see if we had any takers.  We had a 50% take rate and I got a few good photos along the way!

Great view of a storm coming over the mountain.

Clackamas River.

 Evidence! Nice claw marks.

 Removing the hanger.

 Beautiful!

Check out the color of that water!

Today we saw a sooty grouse and a ton of scenery.  Don is always good company...and I hope to be back in a few weeks helping out with some elk!

I'll be posting some new stuff...so check back soon!
