boars bear hunting year end review


Boar

Recommended Posts

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

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

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!!

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!!!

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

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!! grinwinkwhistlewhistle

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
