Up at 7:30 to 10 degrees Celsius (50 F). Dave and Eric decided to go out hunting at 1 pm today. If they start early then they will be done early because they plan to drive away at 4 am tomorrow. Morgan did not feel well, so stayed behind. Eric called at 4 pm...he had shot a bear. I got a hold of Darrell and Walter. All 4 guys and 2 bears back at camp around 5:30 pm. Darrell took Morgan and Dave out to where they had just shot Dave's bear. There was another one around when they left. As they guys were coming back, a big black bear crossed the road and did not run very far into the bush. They go back to the area and Darrell saw the bear...Dave and Morgan did not spot it soon enough to get a shot away. They kept going and spotted the bear another time...still not in a good position to get a good shot. It got dark and they did not spot the bear again... no bear for Morgan. She will have to come back next year.
Pictures and sizes of these two bears to come later.
