Frozen lake is a cutthroat lake, mostly frozen lake is a brook trout lake. I caught brook trout. Hitting a golden lake this coming weekend, most likely. Ill keep looking for sheep, hopefully get a pic of one this summer, even though I dont have a tag this year. Goats galore, tho, at many of the places I end up - Ill get some pics of those furry fellas.

Right on man. Im sure ill come up empty on seeing sheep as well but you never know! I better keep an eye out for goats as well cause im pretty sure Montana is gonna give me a goat tag next year :ROFLMAO:
 
Its a samsquanch!

I just reread my post and caught that I typed 501 when it shouldve said 502! Fixed it.

Ill be up in 500 the next few weekends, I think.
I was really scratching my head with those lakes being in 501.... looks like an awesome adventure! Keep em coming I'm going in late July.
 
One of the best stories that stands out in my mind with a picture of the brute was a bear @theat encountered on the packout with his first ram. The look on that bears face and the size of him was enough to make most think twice about going in the greater Yellowstone area. Just an unbelievable force of nature griz are, the amount of respect I have for them is unfathomable.
Instead of going through all his old posts - do you have a link to the thread by chance?
 
It was in the first few pages but a lot of pictures are not available to.....
 
These are some of the bears that I managed to get pictures of while in the mountains surrounding Yellowstone.

Saw this bear on my first day of a 14 day solo sheep hunt. It spent a couple hours digging up ground squirrels right next to the main trail accessing the drainage. When it got tired of that, it headed up to the pass where my bivy camp was located. Luckily it didn't find my camp, but it did find the tree my food was hung up in and tore up the trunk of the tree and some of the ground around the base of the tree. I was shocked that it didn't break the paracord I had the food tied up with since there were claw marks all around where I had it tied. I went for water right at twighlight and while pumping water through my filter, I looked up and there the bear was 40 yards away staring at me. Thankfully I must not have looked or smelled like a good meal since my pistol and bear spray were on my pack 75 yards behind me back at camp.


A week later I was climbing up a ridge and looked up to see this bear coming straight down towards me. By the time I got my pistol unholstered it had turned enough that it ended up about 50 yards to the side of me. It sat down and took a break enjoying the view. I traded my pistol for my camera and got its attention so I could get this picture.


I wasn't very interesting so it kept on going a few seconds latter.

Late the following night this bear or another griz ended up waking me up while tearing into my pack that was leaning against a tree about 10 yards from my bivy sack. I yelled at it and it ran off a few yards. I spent the rest of the night sitting up in my sleeping bag with my rifle in my hands while it circled me. Between my exposed upper body freezing and the adrenaline from not knowing where the bear was other than when it walked through patches of moonlight, stepped on a stick, or the handful of times it huffed and stomped the ground, it was a long unpleasant night.

While working on a fire just south of Cooke City this griz came into our small fire camp a few times. Never caused us any problems but it did a bit of damage to some other nearby camps while the occupants were gone for the day.


Other random bears




Ive had a couple other close encounters with griz in those mountains that nearly resulted in a bear getting sprayed or shot, but I had other priorities than taking pictures of those ones. Definitely not a griz behind every tree around there, but there are plenty enough that people need to be very cautious and follow all guidelines while recreating in that area.


you must have a 3/4 ton truck behind you at all times towing your balls around. Holy smokes
