Popular Post HeavyGunner Posted October 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2015 I don't usually use my vacation days in the summer, I save them for use between September and March. That covers upland bird season, waterfowl, bear, deer, antelope and elk season and icefishing. That being said I took the last 10 days off to go pursue a bear again this year with my brother. We made camp right near the Bob Marshall Wilderness. It's in the middle of nowhere just the way I like it with hours of seclusion in nearly every direction. No cell service, just a primitive camp in a 14X16 foot wall tent. Beautiful morning for a hikeOn the way to the Alpine Number 7 trailAnother beautiful hikeSome steep countryMy camp is to the right in the pic about 30 yds from the riverA view from the Alpine Trail looking into the Swan Valley. The Swan River is the bottom of the valley In the left corner of the picSome fun pics under water in Sullivan CreekGot my truck unpacked today and now I've got my feet up relaxing. 3 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

HeavyGunner Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Nice country!! Eating Bear this winter? What did you use for the under water photos?I was not successful bagging a bear this year. A lot of country burned up this year and what wasn't burned didn't grow any berries so every bear track I cut at some point cut down to a creek or river bottom where there is some grass to eat and they follow it until they hit a food source. This year that food source is town from what I hear. I used a GoPro Hero3 for the underwater pics. Supposed to be water proof up to 131' underwater. Beautiful area!Have you done with bear now? By the word how was you safe in the tent there?They bears might be luckiely to rifle through garbage. Yes I'm done with the bear hunt now. I have never had any problems with bears except for ones in Glacier Park because they are habituated to people and dumb people feed them making the bears see us as a food source. What little garbage I have is paper plates which get burned everyday. Food is stored in vehicle away from camp or in bear proof container or hanging 10' high and 4' out from a tree which is the law so we don't get problem bears in national forests. As for safety in the tent I have my 338 Winchester magnum with 215grain hornady hand loads in the tent mostly so the gun doesn't get moisture in it or on it from condensation and also my Model 66 357 magnum with 172grain hard cast bullet hand loads as well.it looks like a pretty place but also looks like it gets really cold as wellPaulIt was pretty balmy out Paul, most of the days it got into the 60's and the lowest it got at night was 20 degrees. But I have a helluva good barrel stove right in the middle of the tent that keeps you toasty even when it's -20.

HeavyGunner Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Great pics! Montana is on my bucket list! Have fun on your Vacation!Make sure you have lots of time, Montana is huge and has so many neat things to see. If you could only do one thing I would suggest the Going to the Sun Road. It's incredible, hours of beautiful scenery with lots of little hikes or big hikes with lots of goats, sheep, bears Marmots and lots more. Glen dive area has a dinosaur park which is self guided through the badlands and fossils are abundant, the hell creek formation near Jordan is world renowned dinosaur dig area as well as the choteau area. I've barely scratched the surface of things to do. If you ever need any help on where to go or what to do in Montana let me know. I will gladly help with what ever I can.
