Spent the weekend in the Idaho wilderness looking for bear, but didn't find any. Lots and lots of tics though. At least 30/day. Saw a 15 elk including 5 bulls. Went in a mile the first night to set up camp.
Arrived about 3 and watched the hill side until it started raining about 7, crawled into the tent and watched tics crawling around until day. It rained all night and most of the next morning. Moved camp down the trail another mile.
Got to my spot about 2, stayed until 7, the only wildlife I saw was my partner on the next ridge. He was able to watch the hillside below me as well as another drainage. He did not see a bear either.
