I’m not so sure you should be attempting this without your tracker Floppy Feather, but go for it!
I hope it’s the one we have been talking about this season?

If you bend down and have a good look into the den they almost always rush out. Probably won't get a good shot with a bow though, maybe a hip shot with a rifle or shotgun.

Many years ago my father stepped up onto a small brush pile here while deer hunting. It exploded under him and all heck broke loose when that bear came out.

Put salt on his tail and he won't be able to run!

Good luck!

I owe you this because of the young lady and her deer , Ever hear of a law about molesting an animal in a den ,Your walking on thin ice .
Posted By: Steven 49er

Re: A bedded bear. - 09/27/20 08:55 PM

Trying to call it out or waiting it out isn't molesting.

Go back to bed.

Dang right, it's builds character haha.

In all seriousness though, I bet this was some awesome country before government drainage and drain tile.

I agree it was probably quite the mix back then. Some parts of it speckled with ponds created by world war 2 bombing practice runs. What an area.

Re: A bedded bear. - 09/28/20 11:51 AM

Nice bear Newhouse.
Got buddies bear out. Was not the giant but a good one.
So anyway,, the bear ended up going into a den. I was gonna try calling it out but before trying, I had some black licorice in my pack.
Got to about 7 yards,threw a handful on the upwind side and within second, out it came sniffing.
Drew back but it seen me. I had a hard quarter to shot. Put the arrow right in the "pocket".
It spun, ran back down the hole,came out withing 2 seconds,stood staring at me while blood was SPRAYING out of it chest, took about 3 leaps and tipped over.
Very fun 15 seconds smile

Same here! If I am going to intentionally be within 7 yards of a bear like that I am going to have a slug gun with me.

Re: A bedded bear. - 09/29/20 12:44 PM

Thanks again guy smile

I left a tool at the kill site and had to go back.
Took a pic of the den. It was very nice in there. Very well kept.
Inches of dry grass for bedding.
I could have easily taken a nap.
No smell at all.
This den has been used for a long time. [Linked Image]
