[Boar]

Hey guys, Yes I'm done but the work has just begun. I got my big boy, He was hitting the bait consistantly since monday and I kept him on a regular feeding schedual an thursday I left work early set up bait did everything the same, I climbed into stand a waited. 7:15 I hear him an he just comes on in like he owns the place an no doubt he did. He offerd a shot almost right away but I told my self to slow down an just see what he dose cause he aint going anywhere. So he just sat there an rolled the logs away an fed with his butt to me for about 15 mnts. which I'm glad he did cause it really gave me time to evaluate him, he would raise his head an look around stick his head back in an eat yum yum. He finally steped back out of the bait an turn to his left an WHAMO!!! 50 cal. through the shoulder. 25yrds he expires. YEAH!!!!! 325 field dressed, 5 1/2 inch paw, the head is enormus, 1 1/2" claws, did'nt get a measure on him though. What a great hunt. gonna do a shoulder mount on him. He dwarfs my first bear, theres no comparison. Bear steaks an burger for labor day. I hope the rest of you are having luck an being safe. My last bear took me till Sept. 30th so I must have paid my dues for this boar, hey my name is boar an he's a boar, ha ha. I would like to post pics, but dont know how, dose any one know how to do this? got to go Later boar an boar

Congrats! I am jealous. I am hunting with a .50 cal for the first time ever. We had 6 sites getting hit but it has died down a bit. My brother hasn't seen anything yet. I hunted opening day and then I had to go back to work. I will be off for 5 days starting Wed so hopefully they pick up again. I sure would like to see some picture. Try shutterfly dot com.

Congrat man, 325 dressed, that's a monster. Wish I have the same luck. My baits getting cleaned out every time I go and check. Hope it's a big one too.

Congratulations on the BIG ONE!! I think it is safe to say you are a Bonified Bear Hunter now. I'm truly anxious to see the pics.

I've got my bear in the freezer too. Just an average bear - around 150 - 170. Came in on a bacon burn over my bait pile. This particular station had been the only inactive station we had for two weeks until the day before the opener, but I had a lot of faith in the remote site, and sure enough he showed up on cue on the opener.

We still have several other active sites, but each different bear seems to be nocturnal. One station in particular is getting hit by a really big old boar, and my hunting partner and I are constantly working out possible ways to get this guy to show himself during daylight hours.

Anyway, with gas prices going up, and peak hunting and fishing opportunities coming soon, I'm glad to have this hunt in the bag.

Congrats again Boar!! We'll talk it over in detail over several cold pilsners in a few weeks on LOW and URL! I can't wait! Bring the pics, and a few big juicy steaks - heaven knows you've got no shrtage of bear meat!
