Going in August i would be sure and take a good headnet to keep the bugs off of you.A thermacell would not be a bad idea.The hunt will be here before you know it.Be sure to take your camera with you and take lots of pictures of bears,bait sites and scenery you will appreciate later on.
Thanks Tiny.I really appreciate having the pictures now.I take my camera with me most everytime that i am out anymore.Getting ready to post some of the coyote's that i have snared recently so check them out in the trapping section.Nice
I wish I would have taken a camera with me over the years but it just never occurred to us back when. I didnt start taking photo's till a few years back when I started getting on the net regularly. Oh well... You done real good!
If your in a tree dont worry about it.
Claymore's, I like that.LOL When i hunted Alaska we kept either a sidearm or slug gun with us.There were alot of Brown bears in the area and you would have to be stupid not to carry a gun.One guy was hunting Brown bears when i was there and he took a 9 and a half footer over a thousand pounds.I held the skull and it was huge.It sure is different when you are tracking a bear knowing all the trails you are on were made by bears and not deer.
Just got the story on this from a guy here at work. This is a friend of his from here in WV that killed this bear week before last in Saskatchewan with a bow. (The guy I work with was in camp when this bear was killed and also killed a bear of his own.) Green score is 23.5" and weight was guessed at over 500 pounds after in bottomed out the scale at the outfitter. According to the guy I work with, Boone and Crockett contacted the guy who killed this bear and told him it will very likely be a Top 10 bear of all time. The B&C rep went on to say that of the Top 10 bears in the record books, 6 have been found dead. Of the 4 that were killed, all were killed with a gun. So it is very possible this is the new world record bow killed black bear. I'll keep everyone posted as I hear more...
