On a recent hunt as we were walking the line in a remote area, we thought we saw a quick flash of black. When we walked further along to the spot, are thoughts were confirmed. Nice set of bear tracks in the fresh mud. We did find a few insulators and made sure we made a little extra noise to make our presence known. It has been a dry summer here and bear food is a little scarce so I didn't want it eyeing us over. The hazards of insulator hunting I guess!
