Nice bear, man!

I honestly find it hard to believe that there are fellow trapper/hunters here on T-man that would bust a guy's chops about bear baiting.

If you don't want to hunt bears that way, then don't do it. But don't give those who choose to do so a hard time about it. Heck, why not just go ahead and make a donation to HSUS or PETA. Those groups agree with you guys.

Pete

Great hunt and doozie bruin Sask, also Double Ditto what Pete, M.Magis, Bernie, and 330 said.

Nice Big ole Bear!
Congrats Sir!

I have lived in SK my entire life and hunt more then most. I have seen two bears when I haven’t been hunting them. Hunting with bait is the only realistic chance you get not to mention all the hard work involved with running baits.

I estimated 375-400 pounds

Bernie this guy was a twin to the little blondish guy that came in last night

I agree with Pete. I suspect the two negative commenters set strictly blind sets with no bait (if they even trap) and most likely don't even need decoys for geese hunting. I get some flak for hunting wolves on snowmobile from time to time because apparently the wolves don't have a "sporting chance" or we're not on an even playing field. EXACTLY!! I'm not out there for fun or to grow as a person. I'm out there to get a job done and put as many wolves on stretchers as I can. Nice bear Sask hunter, that's one animal that I haven't gotten yet.

I don't support either one of those groups. But as long as people continue to post these kinds of photos of hunting over bait on the world wide web I'm sure both of those group you mentioned will gladly add them to their arsenal to continue their fight to take away the hunting you all like so well.
And if the Moderators fill that I am in the wrong they are welcome to pm me and remove me from the site.

I don't care what I post because I don't care what those groups think. Im a hunter and proud of it, if somebody doesn't like that then that's their problem not mine.

Nice bear Sask!

Gonna make sausage?

Looks like Mrs Barnes has got her undies bunched up ( again)

nice bear,and some good eating there.looks to be a nice hide too, wish we had a spring hunt. howes the black flies and skeeters

He is going to be made into a big batch of smokies! Will be delicious

Skeeters were pretty bad. Thank god for thermacells lol

Rough scored him this morning between 19.75-20”

Excellent job, good looking bear.

Good grief, negative comments not needed

Thank God for thermacells is right! So many mosquitoes during Spring Bear season. Congrats on the bear!

There is no way I wouldn’t use bait to hunt Bears here. We have a lot of bears, and still would have a hard time seeing one during season.

Good job, and nice bear! Way to go waiting for a nice, mature bear!
