Spring Bear in Lincoln 501

[rasbo]

go get him,a bear is a bear and with your bow thats great.when ya going back in?shoulder mount would be great and cheaper than a rug.And you get a fawn killing tree girdling pest outta the woods.this is my number in case ya get one down,1-800-NOT-home

Oh, well..
As a first bear, with a recurve, I'll take it....
I suppose I could have leather made from the hide....

Kill it first, decide later. It still may make a decent rug. It just depends on the how thin it gets and what taxi you take it to. Besides, it will still eat good.

I went down to my spot tonight....
Sat down looking into creekbottom, up against a bush to break my outline, and tried a little calling..
Just about 8:30, on the other side of the bush I am sitting in front of, I hear a loud CRUNCH..THUD, KETHUMP, THUD, ....silence..................
I look and on the other side of the bush, 15 feet from where I was sitting is a fresh pile of bear crap..

[highside74]

Does that mean you scared the crap out of him?

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

I dont know, I dont even know where he came from....
Down wind and across an opening...
I only know where it went.. by! By !

when a bunch of people merge into an area and start blowing calls.and pounding the roads,it can make them wary....change your spot or move some..if you find some dark timber by a feeding area they will go in there and feel more comfortable,dark timber with wet areas and a lot of old stumps and logs is a combo that works for me,steep to with little flats of wet..The longest ridges are great travel spots for boars..

I agree and I would also add that the thickest creek bottoms are also good. Sometimes even the ones close to roads. They will still be eating a bit of grass and skunk cabbage and in some areas they will be on the horsetails and salmon berry blossoms.

10-4 willy  as the new growth comes up in these wet areas,any movement by any animal is easy to pick up .boot time is the answer.I do like the bottoms or big flats but the wind can kick your ass in there{swirling},the steep areas with little flats usually have thermals and winds that for the most part are consistant..I don't worry about their eyes at all either,them *censored*s can smell with their eyes ears,feet,I think the have a hidden nose in their arse to....Remember bears are close relatives of the cannines

The weird thing is, I am not running into anybody, I saw one truck driving like a maniac up near the 550, but other than that, maybe 7-8 trucks all season.
But then again, I am not spending all my time on the roads.......
I have not heard anyone calling either, but as far as I know Bearmanric is the only one calling.

[bearmanric]
