Title: Bear hunt update- new visitor
Post by: suburbanirma on September 25, 2017, 01:01:00 PM
Bears have been pretty nocturnal recently coming into my two bait sites. Maybe because it's been so hot or maybe because there is so much natural food in the forest now. At any rate, I had a wolf show up in the evening yesterday and a half hour later, still during shooting light, a nice bear showed up. Hopefully, the bear will show up during shooting light a couple of more times in the next two weeks that I can hunt.

That's a pretty nice bear. I hope you get a chance at him during daylight hours.

That's a chunk of a bear.

I'm guessing your AM and PM are messed up on the cam?

Given the short legs, I'm guessing that might be a female, a big un though. Go get em, Tom.

Sat at one of my bait sites this afternoon and had some action. When I arrived at 4:30, my bait had already been hit. I baited at 11 a.m. About 5 a "teenager" came in, ate, loafed and then left around a half hour later. A sow and two cubs came in at about 5:45 and eventually left after staying for an hour. That's the most action I've had during a sit so far. Hoping for a big, lone bear to show up soon.

For as long as we have to wait to draw a tag you're right in taking your time and getting as many sits in as possible!

Keep after them Tom.  Do you have some bacon grease on those logs? Those bears coming in will get it on their pads and lay a scent trail out into the woods (they'll lick some off the logs of course).

I sat at my bait again today and had another decent bear show up at 5 p.m. It fed, scratched, yawned, lay down alongside the bait and finally left at 5:30. I am still waiting for that "holy sh#&" bear to come in during daylight. Also, about 15 minutes after the bear left, I heard what I thought was a deer walking quickly behind me. I looked and saw a wolf drifting by at about 20 yards. I tried to take its pic but the wolf boogied when it heard my camera beep as it turned on. Anyway, it was a pretty exciting three hours in my stand.
