Day 7 Friday - Last NightBenton and I spent some of our morning chasing down ground grizzlies (squirrels). Tonight is our last night, and hopes are high that we can put it all together and tag a few more bears. Bryce and his Dad (Mike) went back up above Benton tonight with high hopes but as luck would have it they didn't see any bears, and neither did most of the rest of us. At one point during the evening I heard that warning woof sound as a bear circled around my stand, but I never saw the bear. Larry had a bit of excitement tonight when he saw a large brown head of a bear come into view. A large bear was moving in on the bait and then from right behind the bear came a little cub. Larry turned on his video camera and got some great footage of this little guy playing around his mother. What a way to end a hunt and have it recorded to be watched any time. Even those of us not able to see this first hand got to enjoy it from the small view finder of Larry's camera and then again on Larry's TV once we reached home. Sure there was disappointment in the camp that night for some of us who would not be taking home that bear we had hoped for during all those months of anticipation, but we were going home with treasured memories as trophies none the less!
