Good luck Bernie! My son and I are going to be in the stand Sunday night. Baits are going good so the hopes are high. Trying to get my sons 1st MN bear in many tries. Would love to see a pic of you guys with a bear!

Bernie what body part plugged that exit whole on Dave's bear? Really nice clean, full pelt on that bear. How was day two at the swamp?
Bryce The shot was quartering away and intestines plugged the exit wound. I'm headed to the big swamp in a few minutes. I baited it earlier today so when I go to hunt I will not have to walk to the bait, just directly to the stand. I would put my chances of shooting a big bear tonight at about 80% if the thunderstorms hold off until dark. Pretty confident, but of course you just never know.

Opening night was a lucky night for me. Took the big male about 7:30pm! Nice bear, WTG!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Opening night was a lucky night for me. Took the big male about 7:30pm! Congrats that's a great bear! Last night I got rained out 45 minutes before dark. I saw the big one I've named Belly Dragger but didn't get a shot. The wind is supposed to go from NW to N about 6:00 so I'll wait and go in late. Expecting to shoot a bear tonight. Very optimistic.
