Bait station and timing. UPDATE: 09-24, Final Update

You better start eating some of that cob yourself because that bear looks bigger than you.

You aren't kidding. Now, look at these two side by side. I'm sure these are two different bears.

The second picture looks like a big fatty and the first picture just looks like a fatty.

Both look good enough to be my first.....

once you know  a bears hitting your bait you gotta pull it !

[h20hunter]

Yep, I've stopped with the feed. These bears will be on their own from now on. It's all about the deer at this spot. At least with the last few days I know they are still moving...and a little spike buck to boot.

[h20hunter]

Well, the truck is packed, bow is ready, mind is clear and focused.

I have had some action since the last post. Mainly bears and hunters. Since I stopped putting feed out the bears have dropped off about 80%. I'll be hunting the corner for the first time this evening. I'm hoping I get a chance at either two bucks that have been seen, the spike, or eventually a doe gives me a shot.

For those that know exactly (Dirty) and for the few that have hunted this spot please keep your eyes out for some pink trail tape. Wed evening I was hunting an area about a mile from my spot for bears. Had a guy come in, see me, and sit not 20 yards away on the same clearning. Now, this clearning is small enough for one guy to cover the whole thing with a rifle. I ASSUME he would not have shot if a bear came in. However, it got me thinking. So, at the base of my trail I'm string a piece of tape across with "bowhunter ahead" warning. This is not at all a honey hole so hopefully people will see it and not continue up the trail.

Wish me luck.

Luck.  Call if'n you need a packboard with a dummy to run it.

[h20hunter]

Thanks.....dinner with the GF parents again?

[Skillet]

If you're feeling lucky I'll call and set it up right now. 

[h20hunter]

I always feel luck....just that the critters disagree.

[h20hunter]

No real news to report from the evening hunt. Had a nice sit, saw some birds, killed some skeeters, just no hooved critters.

Here are a few pics from the cam since I last checked.

Hey man, you have put in alot of time, it's gonna pay off this week I can feel it. draw some blood while I'm gone. Also it was nice meeting you the other night, anyhow off for elk later....

Sounds like a good time.  You'll dump something soon.  Pick yourself up a Taurus Judge and you'll have a pistol  that shoots both 45 LC and .410 shotshells.  My Judge puts the hurt on grouse.  Haven't needed the .45 LC for anything yet.
