Weekend camping trip on Diamond Mountain!

We went camping this weekend up on Diamond and it was so much fun! we got to do and see some neat things. First off, we got to see this cute little baby bear! We spotted him about 50 yards off the road and our dogs chased it up a tree. Rhett and his friend Dan went and saw it in the tree about 100 yards from the truck and took pictures with it and a video of it. I on the other hand just watched from the truck. I was to scared to walk to the tree because I was worried Mama bear was going come and save her baby! But it was still really cool to watch from the truck. It was my first time ever seeing a bear in the wild. We also saw a bear track right before that in a different area so that was neat too! We ran into a guy who was down to the last 2 days of the hunt and he hadn't killed an elk yet so Rhett decided to help him out. He bugled in a Bull for him and we watch him shoot it from 730 yards away! Then we helped him get it down the mountain and into his truck. That was very interesting. He wanted to save the liver and heart so I ended up having to carrying it down the mountain for him, along with every ones coats, a gun, binoculars, a camcorder, and camera! It was his first Bull elk, so we were glad to be apart of it and help him out. Besides all of this we just hung around the fire, Rhett cooked yummy breakfast for us and we just relaxed and had a great time! Our dogs had a great time too! Sam loved cuddling with Rhett by the fire:) I can't wait for my hunt so we can hopefully see more cool stuff!
