boars bear hunting year end review

[Boar]

Boy ben along time since ive have not gotten a bear. But cant get then everytime. been a goofy year, although ive had opportunities that have eluded me, there should have been some dead bear. late spring was a factor for sure s naturals hit right around mid baiting for me and acorns droped in the first week of hunting adding more complications to the mix. Im extreamly pleased how the year went, had six out 7 sites with a couple of good freinds that where hot at one time or another but timing was just off. As funny as thie season was my own selfseason was tougher. heres some highlights of bears still walking around in Boars head

that dang chocolate that eleude me, he was gona be my hat an cape mad trapper style

Love his guy he was one for a rug, just a beatiful jet black bear with a tiny spot of white

sckunk bear has got to be my fave, just a privilage to have a bear of two tone on my site.

Mr Pig is another fave of mine, just a fat glutten, the bear on this site I tend to feel were a case of bait burn out, they ust stoped showing up with no ryme or reason. even with naturals theyd still visit but just vanished like bear do.

this is the wierdest bear ive ever seen,the rare BoarBuck

O

Oh Mr.Choclate why have you forsken me?

[Boar]

Just a few of the bear on site this past year. as time passed and opportunities missed i just stoped up loading pics to the computer. I have a bunch more but think theyve been erased when swapping cards. Hope all you had a great season, I did, always and thrill and, headscratcher and privilage. on to icefishing.

These late springs sure do make it tuff with the naturals that is for sure. Took until mid September for me to get any consistent hits. Then it was multiple bears on a bait. My step daughter had here opportunity at a nice bear, but something happen when she shot. long story short, no bear to be found and the bear has a battle scar to remind him to hit the baits after dark.

This is the bear

Well we have 3 points in our group so we better get drawn next year. It's all I think about. I have never got a bear so I'm hoping next year is the ticket.

[icehole10]

We had an off year as well, 6 hunters and no bear. we had a lot of logging going on in our area, some of which was very close to our bait sites. Berries and acorns dropping opening weekend sure didn't help either. Only one hunter saw a bear and that was just this past Saturday night. Did not get a shot, as she was using a bow and there aint much for cover out there right now. Guess there is always next year!!

Those are some nice looking bears Boar. Too bad you didn't get to do the crossbow on one of them. Say you didn't change your Boar's Bear Bait Gumbo recipe did you? I wouldn't think they could resist that. Thanks for the pics.

[Boar]

nope, its still the same, sota, been tweeking it a bit. I fill ya in next season brother.

[CaptainMusky]

Boar, I have never hunted bear before but because of you posts etc you have me intrigued. Even a year without a harvest I can tell you had a blast. Lots of fun but I am sure a ton of work. Thanks for sharing!

[rkhinrichs]

this was my first year and the best part was baiting! yea i got a bear and that was a blast! but baiting is what has me addictive! seeing logs everywhere... then checking trail cameras is prob the best thing in the world. I know guides in MN do not make a lot but i can see why they want to bait for other people!!!

[Boar]

one you go black ya never go back brother, LOL! give it a shot sometime youll be glad ya did.

[CaptainMusky]

If only I could save some of the sweets for the bait instead of eating them myself! Lol

[Boar]

Ha yeah that the tough part.

yikes..........I be afraid to ask whats in boars gumbo!!!!!!!!!!!

[Boar]

Smurfy........never mind

[jerkbait]

I tried bear hunting for the first time 5 years ago and have been addicted ever since.

[smurfy]

yea there is nothing like walking up to a bait and seeing logs thrown all over. but yet nothing more annoying or aggravating to see your small hole turned into a large hole from critters digging under them logs to steal the picinic basket for yogi!

and BOAR.... you never mind!!

[Boar]

And nuthing like aggravating a smurf

[smurfy]

And that they did.

[Boar]

Oh now smurfy, I have a big ol' bowel of Boar's bear bait gumbo for you. it's boar-a-liciou!

[jerkbait]

Gee. I just happen to be working on batches of Boar gumbo at this time for next year. Been getting some goodies from the grocery store lately. Already got one barrel full. Ready to start the 2nd one.

[Boar]

Shhhhhhh its a ancient boarcheese secret.

[LindellProStaf]

Yup the baiting and getting a bear on cam is quite a thrill. My wife sets up the cam while I set the baits. We love it. Also get to see lots of other critters. Shooting the bear is only a small part of the whole adventure.

[Boar]

Agree agree agree. Cant wait til next year.

[smurfy]

Shhhhhhh its a ancient boarcheese secret.

[jerkbait]

Your secret is safe with me.
