Is it wise?

[cbond3318]

Would you go Bear Hunting with the same pack used to carry quarters of deer last season and has not been washed? Would I be a walking bait ball?

[washelkhunter]

I have a hunting partner who was concerned about the kitchen being an extension off the wall tent. Wont all this food and stuff attract bears he asked in a concerned voice? Well I hope so I replied. That sure beats ranging all over looking for one!

Should be fine.

[WAcoyotehunter]

Sounds like the perfect plan!!  It will be fine.  If they're downwind of you, they're going to smell you.  The pack is not going to bring them running in to gobble you up.

When I pulled my pack out to get everything prepped the smell of deer had me daydreaming of my deer hunt this year and I thought nothing of it. As I laid in bed last night going over my first trip up the ridge this coming weekend, in an area ripe with grizzlies, I wondered about possible repercussions of a blood soaked pack on my back.  Followed by flashes of me getting my face ripped off by a stomach grumbling grizzly. Having never specifically hunted bear I found myself wondering if anyone had contemplated the same sequence of thoughts or If i was being a nancy.

Throw grizzlys into the mix and I might be a nancy too. Black bear only and I would not worry about it though.

No don't use it I would go to REI and. Buy all the bear bells I can find get some cigers and walk fast and loud when bear hunting.    Sorry but I had to flip some *censored*

[Ripper]

You will be fine, especially when blowing a fawn in distress call!      

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

Might even throw a salmon in it as well.

[cbond3318]

Thanks guys I feel much better. Now what are my odds of being attacked in the Montana wilderness while wearing my Obama/biden
Baseball cap?















Gotchaaaaaaaaa!


Will a bear fit in a subaru?

[timberghost72]

Just dip your boots in bacon grease and the bears will never know you smell like a dead deer

yup


I'd be careful carrying around a meat smelling pack in areas where I hunt.
wolves and grizz go hand in hand, I expect the grizz population to go up in wolf areas.

A friend took this pic, I seen it on his phone (and a bunch of other pics not pasted on the interweb) before it got pasted all over FB and everywhere else so I know exactly where this bear was 


I love those looks the grizz bears have "I dare ya"
