It up at 4:30 and drove out to the coast. Got in my bear stand about 1:15. Just had the first sighting of a bear just after 3:00. Looked like about a 250 pounder. I let him/her cross. I scoped it and could see a lot of "ear" so I figured it was just too small to shoot. That and the fact it was just over 500 yards away.
In the picture the stand you can see is 500 yards from me. He crossed just beyond that stand. If he had been more round headed and no ear showing I'd give him a barrel...
Best time is suppose to be right before dark. We will see...
