Afternoon of day 5
Stop in at camp and it some leftovers and load a few different dogs and head back out to go drive the loop road again. Snow was completely gone by then and we were hoping some bears had been moving. Put down a older dog along with a younger dog that had been doing very well. It's going perty boring not much happening. Dogs are perty quiet. Get down to the south end if the loop road where it loops back up around the mountain and WOW the two dogs on the ground blow up and take off!! They haul butt across the creek and up this steep face of the mountain and I thought I saw something shorter and dark moving thru the trees so we dump the rest of the dogs we had with us. And listen to them open and bay as they haul up the mountain. Seems like they are running a bear the way it looks on the gps and the older dog that went on it has done extremely well with being broke off deer and elk. FAMOUS LAST WORDS
It's all looking good until they are running whatever it is way to fast to be a bear. They were angling towards the road again finally so we start driving their way but we couldn't get there before they crossed. Got to where they crossed and got down looking in the mud. Sure enough big fresh elk track right with the dog tracks so we zapped them all off. By this time it's almost dark. Finally got all the dogs loaded and headed back to camp after our final evening of hunting.
