Whos' on the hit list.

[HunterLee]

I am out in the farmland areas of Norman County, i know that there are a few around but it takes time for them to find the baits. I know some no quota areas are very good, but i am an area of few bears.

[Boar]

I ment Jay with the three for three soeey for the mix up. keep ater, you have success out there before? Boar

[Boar]

Nice to have established sites that have been visisted by generations of bear.

[HunterLee]

Had my riverbottom site hit almost right off the bat, small bear, nothing to get excited about, then three days ago he stoped opening the crib an was just eating the candy around the site, two days ago same thing, yesterday same thing, all right big boy where are ya hideing? Today i got a print in my grease not a perfect print but a print with a good impression of the pad making a nice cresent moon shape of atleast 5 inches wide, on the cmaerea tonight was the bear, he came in at 6:01 this morning but not a good picture, side veiw, cant see his head, but you can make out some good mass, still very much dark at 6 in the river bottom. Later boar

You know, one new pit I set had a bear bed close by with the ole crapola in it. He didn't hit the bait though. Wonder what's up with that. Think it's a smart bear just surveying the situation before moving in?

[Boar]

My thoughts is that hes just saving it, really. Probabley has enough natural forage right now an he needs that stuff. He's just keepinmg an eye on it an keeping everything else away, when the time is reight he'll dine on the take out. Boar

What can you guys tell me about these bears...other than pretty small I think, sex, weight etc.

Thanks

[jay83196]

A few more pics...I have 5 stations all getting hit now, hope I can keep them coming..

[buckhunter21]

Man you guys are getting me pumped with these pics. Get to come home from work in pennsylvania next friday and then Im going to help my cousin with the baiting. So far we are having about a 50% hit rate but not all of them are consistant every day. This morning he walked up to his camera destroyed on the ground from a bear. He said he even had it up the tree above his head but it still noticed it and did a number on it. Cant wait to get up there and get my cameras out, hopefully I wont end up with the same result as him.

[Boar]

Way to go Jay, nice pics. that last one is a nice bear, I'd drop him. The night picture is hard to tell, Pic are so decieving, I'm terrible at judging pics, but real nice job. Good luck

[Boar]

That orange flag? is that waist high?

[jay83196]

The orange tape is about 4' ground is low in front of it. thanks I hope I can keep em coming...2 stations on private 3 on public. I'm baiting private daily and public every 3.

[cherokee]

Jay, that last pic looks like a better one.

[cherokee]

The camera got wacked a few times so some of the pics are upside down.

[cherokee]

Different pit.

0 for 2 not sure why thought I set up in decent area. Plenty of scent and goodies.how long do I stick it out or move on?

Cherokee nice job good luck, looks like a nice pumpkin. If your not confident in the area it is totally personal preference, I like to stick things out, but thats me. To me in hunting is three components, knowledge, confidence , an luck. In that order. I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but If you feel that you should move, I'd do it quick. Boar

well spoken Boar!

[jay83196]

4 out of five sites hit today...does the bear standing on the log look like a nice size 250lbs or so...thoughts on size sex etc, thanks.

[Boar]

I think the one standing on the log is a nice 200 lb der, if it's a male he's a little flamboyant an need to be culled, we dont need any lightfooted bears in the woods, boy jay, ya got better bears tham me hitting an 9 days to go, keep up the routine, are they eating all the grub? Daytime bears, good job. boar

[jay83196]

a few more from today..

[Boar]

Still gonna do the shotgun Jay?

[jay83196]

I'm leaning that way, why do you ask?
