DONT KNOW BEAR HUNTING
« on: June 24, 2014, 08:30:08 PM »
WELL I DONT KNOW A THING ABOUT BEAR or hunting the awesome creatures,but ill be darn if I'm not right up close and personal with a brute were I just got access to hunt for deer and elk,i set my cam up on a well worked trail, left it there  for 17 days and then made the hike in to check film and batteries,i had a very exciting pic review but no elk,but what there was is four different deer ,a four year old moose face right in the camera ,really cool shot,and what I thought to be asmall black bear or at least that's what I thought till I got home and put the film on the puputer,jicker box yoogle machine !!!,this is a very large animal,i guess what my questions to you folk that know stuff about stuff is am I safe to hunt this area ? and when in the heck is bear season and who owns a bow and hunts bear, ( SUCEESSFULLY ! ! ),I gotta Admit I'm a little intimidated by him,I've hunted all my life of 56 years and still find this critter in my thoughts about my new spot,the neighbor next to me showed me pics of 15 elk at his back door 4 weeks ago and I'm seeing a lot of signs of my life time quest with a bow,I've got a large area so I really don't want to give it to Mr. black bear,any advice is ( GREATLY ) APPRECIATED !! BELIEVE ME :chuckle: :chuckle: :bash: :bash:,i WOULD LOVE TO POST MY PICS BUT IM PRETTY MUCH PUPUTER ILLITERATE,SORRY GUYS :sry: :sry: :sry:

Your fine. I had one sneak up on me last year while i was stalking some doe with my bow. Turned around and there he was 40 yards behind me frozen looking at me.. two seconds later i sent a muzzy straight through his chest.  He turned around and ran straight down hill like a bat outta he.....well u know

As long as you aren't baiting the area with anything hunt that bear.  If you are putting bait out for the deer and elk and that's why the bear is around then I wouldn't recommend it.  But you don't have much to worry about hunting the area, the bear won't bother you unless it has cubs with it, then it might get defensive.  I have been within less than 10 feet of a bear cub and the sow ran off so fast she left her cubs behind at the other end of the clear cut.  It wasn't exactly what we were expecting, but it could have turned out worse.

Yes, the bears will eat anything. Any food a human puts out will attract the bear no mater what your intent was.
Shoot the bear, gamster finds out, he investigates, questions you, He smiles alot while talking to you, and seems very friendly, but he is just building a case to send to the prosecutor. Sounds harsh but that's how it works.
These laws were put in place by  Seattle voters.
MAGA, Never give up.

Well!!
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I sent you a private message to see if we could walk you through posting a picture off the trail camera.
If you're able to get the pictures up on your computer then you should be able to post them on here too, only a couple of steps to get them on this web page.



For the bear,  odds are fantastic you'll never see it while hunting deer and even more fantastic the bear won't just run away if you did bump noses.

just shoot it and donate the meat to me. I love bear meat as long as it's not a dumpster bear.

If you had summer sausage made out of the meat and pepperoni you'd never know you were eating bear meat ;-)
