2020 California Bear

[David Gough]

Scouting for the season is in full effect. Lets see how everyone is doing and have engaging conversation about sex, size, field judging, etc.

I'll start with one of two blonde bears we have on camera. One I nearly killed last year after seeing it since July, but it never stopped moving. Had to screenshot the videos to attach.

Saw this guy a few weeks ago, I doubt I’ll see him come season but you never know

I’ve gotten this one quite a bit on camera. Looks like a decent size bear but not 100% sure boar or sow

Whatever it is the tan muzzle gives me the idea it's an older bear.

Here's the second blonde. Younger bear and most likely a sow. Looks pretty nuts with the dark head.

I’ve got a similar looking bear. Can’t decide what color it wants to be. Pretty neat seeing different color bears.

Kind of an ugly bugger isn't he?

I've never laid hands on a color phased bear. One way to find out if I like those two-tone bears

Bears are always a little ugly when they aren't haired up. He has the potential to be an absolute beauty when his coat's full.

Definitely. Saw some bushes with berries growing this weekend. Some should be ripe right in time for the opener.

California archery bear. Second morning at fifteen yards. He was not happy to see me.
