Well I hunted about 5 miles up a mountain back off a motorcycle trail,
and eventhough the habitat was great, I didn't see much for deer. Then about 15 seconds before this buck stood up I said to my self "this is where it's all gonna happen" and it did! I could just feel it.
Anyway, I took as much meat as I could carry out that evening but had to leave the hind quarters for a second trip the next morning. Much to my disbelief I returned to find that two bears had come in overnight and completely cleaned the kill site :cry: The quarters, the gutball, and the boned out carcass all gone! :shock: Nothing left behind but poops and tracks! I have shot alot of animals in Idaho, and in this area and this is the first time I've returned to find my kill scavenged. It was very disapointing but that's life and death in the wild I guess and at least I got one load of about 50 lbs. out. All in all, still a great hunt and an interesting story.
