I've learned that site location is critical. Be it your access direction, wind direction and having different stands
on each site helped me hunt multiple wind direction. Also I noticed the bears seemed to use a lower ground to approach so the thermals carry your scent to the lower ground.

Question Bernie. I either had the sows come in or Boars come on any night. Never both. Which sex drives this.

Here is a picture of the sow with 3 cubs. I think she is huge.

I think this is a picture of the bear I killed. Both pictures were taken 5weeks ago. He also ate the camera.
