If you do shoot a bear, don't post pictures on here with a dead bear and a bait pile in the background, like some have done.
So I have a pile of apples out in the woods for the modern deer hunt. I have a trail camera on the spot so I can see the deer that are coming in. The area is stocked with bears and are eating the apples, which I don't really care if they do or not. I was wondering if it is ok to have a rifle for protection with me when I check my camera when it is not deer season, and having a bear tag on me. I don't intend to shoot a bear around the bait, but I would rather not have a mother bear shread me to pieces
