Bear scat???
« on: August 10, 2011, 11:22:07 AM »
How many times a day do you think a bear poos?  I went in yesterday and flattened, or covered every pile of bear poo I could find.  Today I counted 26 fresh piles of poo in under four miles of rd.   How many freekin bears are up here?   

I've seen three now but all looked too little.  I'm new to bear hunting and don't want my buddies razzing me if I shoot a small one so I'm being rather particular, maybe too much so. 

I want something at least over 200 lbs but really want one over 250. 

Thanks for any advice,

T6

First off I would say you just never know ho many bears are coming and going. I've seen lots of poo in one area and know for a fact that there are four or five bears in an area.

Regarding your buddies giving you grief if you shoot a small one. I suppose they have all punched their tags on a a 300lb boar this year? Probably not. Until they go out and get it done tell 'em to shove it.

A lot of guys find nice handguns or knives in piles of bear pop.   :chuckle:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Most folk on here know some of what I've been up to. Somebody mentioned the baiting thing....I could have a bear in 20 minutes if we went that route.
