It felt good to sit out there this evening! I thought I was going to have a big one come in. The evening felt right!

Ended up only seeing those 2 sows and their cubs, 3+2.

I use to hate having sows and cubs take over a bait, but these sows will be coming in heat this Spring and I feel like big boars will check out the bait site looking for them.

I’ll sit at my other bait one day this week and see if that toad of a bear is still around.

thanks for sharing great pic

Good luck JP. We’re lucky enough that the sows at our baits are toting yearlings, soon they’ll be gone and maybe a big boar will slip up. For three years now we’ve been after a giant black and a very large cinnamon but so far, they’re winning the battle of wits. Lol

Keeps us posted I have enjoyed your journey.

I hope you or your boys get a crack at one of them! If I want a Cinnamon I need to set a bait 2-4 hours away. I’m seriously thinking about it for next year.



Thanks snowy! I hope I can share pics of a bear down!

Thanks, me too. We’ve got good colour phase numbers. Currently have seven different colour phase bears on camera, two are yearlings though. One is a beautiful blonde but he’s not grown up yet and is an immature boar so he’s safe from us. The sow with three yearlings that comes to my yard daily is getting less safe each day because I’m tired of cleaning up after her.

Thanks for starting the thread.

I Hope Success for You JP

I wish you guys my best! Above all, though...have fun!

Well I was going to hunt the other bait today. But I just got pics of a nice one at the same bait I hunted the other day with the Sow’s and cubs.





I think I’ll head out there soon and see if he comes in this evening!

If I was up there I would run him down and wrassle him to the ground for ya!

LOL Moosetrot!!

Jurassic are these bigger bears coming in when you are sitting? You got me going, I will be in a tree in a little over a week up there.

No, the bigger ones haven’t come in while I’ve been sitting. I’ll be shooting them if they do lol.

So far the 2 sows and their cubs have come in twice now. I just got back to my truck. Big storm rolling over and I’m completely soaked! Not fun sitting in the rain like that lol.

Hopefully I’ll get a chance this weekend to hunt again.

Good luck when you get up here! Are you after a big bear or anything goes?

What,,,, don't let that rain messing up your hair detour you.
You still have a few minutes, get back in the stand.!!.
I guess I could travel up and build you an enclosed blind? Lol.

Jp you are luck when that storm went through St James area we got 3 inches of hail, quarter size at 4;30 pm

Lol, hunting in the rain isn’t fun and it was more than a little rain. Down right pouring on me.
Kind of a freak storm that popped out of nowhere. All day long the weather channel was showing a clear evening. Then when I checked as I was heading out it showed an hour of rain. Ok, I can handle that, but then there was an extreme weather warning out and bunch of hail like Northof50 said.

I didn’t get the hail, but got everything else!

At first I will be after a good bear. But I like to eat them so after a few days I would take a smaller bear. Not really a big trophy hunter when I leave home, more after the meat.

You better get cracking and start shooting some before the pelts start to get rubbed.
The big ones hold their pelts longer but arent as good for eating as the 150 pounders..

Fiancée got a good one tonight

Nice bear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!
