You are correct--it did open the 15th--been busy thinking about turkey hunting and really have not paid bears much notice...but in a few weeks should be in the thick of things as to bears...they seem to start breeding here around the mid of May...go hunting at that time...

Doesn't look like either season here tonight--got to work about 5:30 this morning and it was raining and 42F...at 11AM it was up to 56---by 12:30 it started to drop in temp and started snowing--been dumping ever since--probably have a good 6" on the ground right now..and still coming down..oh, by the way, it was 79F here yesterday...ah, yes, spring time in the Rockies...gotta love it...
