They were actually glassing for elk/deer from his truck when they rounded a curve and he was standing in the road, he never really said how big he was. I had a young chocolate bear hanging around one of the waterholes I had a stand in down there a couple years back, he was sure a pretty one. The only thing I have ever come across heading to one of my stands early was a big cat, scared the heck out of both of us. He had actually killed a young deer not too far from my stand, my son and I drug the carcass down the canyon a ways and dumped it in a ravine. I never saw the cat again, but one of our party had him come into one of our other waterholes a couple days later.
