Rooster Road Trip XIII EP.2: Teton River Bears and Birds

The second stop of the 2022 Rooster Road Trip found us hours away from where we chased sharp-tailed grouse the day before. And although there was some familiarity in being back in what felt like pheasant country, this Teton River Build a Wildlife Area and the animals that call it home were anything but normal for most of us.
Sure, the sweeping views, varied elevation, and picturesque river flowing through the heart of this property were certainly unique. But the fact we were officially in bear country coupled with the knowledge that a hunter had encountered a grizzly here less than a week earlier, made it clear that we were chasing birds in an extremely unique setting...
The Rooster Road Trip is made possible by: Ruff Land Kennels, Browning firearms and apparel, Garmin training collars and tech, SoundGear hearing protection and enhancement, Federal Ammunition, and Apple Autos.

Good Stuff!
I'm familiar with the bear situation. Walked up on a Momma Black Bear and her two cubs Grouse hunting in early October here in Minnesota. My French Brittany and I were within 15 yards of them when I saw them. I was close enough to see the morning dew on Momma's back! All three had there backs to us and heads down feeding. Heavy winds through the foliage and my dog and I coming from down wind up to them was the only reason we weren't detected by Momma. We walked back out backwards without making a noise to the truck and hunted another plot.
