Rate my poo!!!
« on: September 12, 2016, 05:58:12 AM »
Just want to start out with saying everything I know about bears I learned from lurking on this forum  :chuckle:
I have't posted much so hopefully I got the pictures attached right lol  ???

So....Went out for a little grouse hunting today and came across a bunch of bear scat it was all in about a 500 yard stretch on an abandoned logging road. What is your guys take on how fresh it is? I poked it with a stick and it was still pretty squishy  :o I'm thinking couple days maybe but I dunno. The scat with the black berry's in it was quite large just a bit smaller than a pop can in diameter so i'm thinking its a sow? It also looked like to me all the scat was from the same bear too?  :dunno:

I think hunting this area isn't going to be easy its a network of abandoned roads with really thick and nasty cover and on the right side of the roads are steep grades for the entire length (about 4 miles) that a mountain goat would love lol. The left side of the roads are filled with about a 25' buffer of black berries (some dried up, some ripe, some not, some still green) beyond that its more nasty thick stuff into even nastier and thicker timber so pretty much sneaking through the brush and being quite about it is pretty much out of the question. I'm thinking the only chance I would have is to see it is when its feeding down the road or crossing it someplace. The only thing I can think to do in the situation is pull out the 2 or 3 cameras I have and set them up along the road for a week or two and hopefully be able to come up with a pattern and then find my ambush point and sit and wait it out. I would like to here any thoughts or suggestions anyone may have  :)

Find a vantage point where you can see up or down the road ,within your effective range.
Take a book and a lunch and spend the day. :tup:

I wish there was a good vantage point but there isn't the road is at the top of the hill winding it's way down into an old log landing and drainage at the end there is only about 50yd view down the road at any given time if your lucky that's why I was thinking cams were going to come in handy to hopefully see where it tends to enter and exit the road and about what time if its still hanging out in the area. I'm going to try to head back up tomorrow early morning and set some cams out and see what happens, with any luck maybe I'll walk in on em'  :tup:

By the time you pattern that bear it will have moved on.  Get down wind and listen. You will hear the bear feeding. Then still hunt your way in slowly. Maybe figure out were its working by the best berries and take a friend. Get down wind and have the friend leave. Bears can't count. They will hear your friend leave and think the coast is clear. Has worked for me
