Archery bear hunt?

[LindellProStaf]

Thanks Don I will try again. I am just getting from my pictures on my computer. It worked once the other day and hasn't since. Maybe I am rushing it.

Ok here is my bear.

Come on Scoooooot I need a fix real bad. I'm waiting for your story

Lindell- congrats on a fine trophy!

Sniper, I will put together a story with pics, but I have no chance right now. It takes me a fair bit of time and effort to put them together and I just don't have the time to do it in the next few days.

My report is this: had a bear coming in on opening day, but he got downwind of us and left in a hurry- sounded like a freight train plowing through the woods. He (or she) probably was about 60 or 80 yards when he winded us and left. I sat the next night and didn't see squat. I hear something coming in very slowly and reluctantly in the last 10 minutes of shooting light, but was disappointed to see three racoons stick their heads out into my shooting lane. So that's it- no big report from me. I'm not sure when I'll sit next, but I hope to get out there ASAP. This weekend looks tough- my wife is leaving for the Cities and I'll have the kids with me. I may try do a short sit one evening with both kids- we'll see...

The kids too small to leave in the house for a few hours?

Definitely.

Time for a ground-blind attack - up close & personal! The kids eyes will look like saucers when a bear hits the bait.

Time for a ground-blind attack

Good idea, Stick! If the wind is from the West I'll be fine with both of them in a treestand. If it's Easterly, like it has been a lot lately, I'd be much better off in a groundblind.

Do I have to brush in a blind if it's new to the scene for bear like I would for deer? Or, is it more like turkey where I don't need to worry much about it and the bear won't care?

Just spray it with vanilla and keep a snickers in your pocket

After the acorns drop I like to start a honey burn, the smell off burning honey is something a bear just cannot resist.
