Anyone in Utah seen any bears out and about? Went looking for sign last week for a few days and didn't find hide nor hair of anything. Bear season starts again tomorrow so I am hoping to find something to run!!!

Not me. Unless the bears started wearing bright orange vests and caryying rifles. :roll:

Around the Wasatch Front area it's going to be pretty tough...

I've had snow on my front lawn three different times in August and that often means death to bear hunting in November.

But that said, I've caught bears in November and known of others caught late in the year.

I have video from a few years back of a bear on the Wasatch in November. The snow was so deep you could not get a 4 wheeler to the bear track, only a snowmobile. I only had three dogs and obviously wasn't looking for a bear.

But I have video of my three dogs walking this bear across the hill in snow so deep the bear was leaving a trench and the dogs were just walking in his trail behind... they were just floundering in the deep snow, as was the bear. And it was a blizzard as well.

So this balmy weather lately might have a few boars out moving around. I've seen them moving in much worse than this. That said, the snow did come early this year and that won't help your cause.

Southern Utah, you might have a better chance.

Hey Hounddog, you should post that video or something. It sounds pretty funny.
