My uncle and cousin and 2 of their friends are here this week from Missouri to go hunting. The season opens today. Their tags are good for a deer, a bear, or a mountain lion! They are all hoping for a bear!  They are just sure they saw one up on the mountain above our house. There was a black spot there Sunday morning... and later it was gone... so it must've been a bear! At breakfast yesterday morning they asked each other, "Wasn't it about this time yesterday that we saw that black spot?" Yeah, they agreed it was. So they went out with their binoculars to see if they could spot it again. (We've lived in the area for over 8 years and have never seen a bear, so the chances of them actually getting one are very slim, IMO, but maybe I'll be surprised! Wouldn't that be a hoot?)

DH took them on a scouting expedition yesterday. He's not a hunter himself, but he took the day off to show them around since they couldn't shoot anything yesterday anyway. They spotted a big buck, so they headed out before dawn this morning to see if they could find the buck again. (And maybe some of his relatives... or a bear!)
