Title: Help me kill this bear!!
Post by: zackmioli on August 06, 2014, 09:01:05 PM: Hey guys I have this big bear on my camera and I'm hoping to put my eyes (and scope) on him next weekend. I have never shot a bear so I'm wondering what I should do to increase my chances of seeing this beast!

This is in a heavily reproded area behind gated roads. There are a few blackberry patches along side the road about 150 yards from where this picture was taken but not an abundant amount.

I had some Apple mash in front of my camera in June but haven't put anything out since.

Should I sit in the timber and wait to hear or catch movement, sit along side the road and watch the blackberry patches or something else?

I have no experience predator calling and it kinda freaks me out to do alone.

Any suggestions? Trying to put this calf killer down as my first Bear! Thanks guys!

If I were you I'd sit on the road near the most sign and do some calling. Or get a tree stand and call from above the road. I'd probably call with a buddy if I was gonna be on the ground. :twocents:

And I don't have any friends that predator call or really hunt for that matter. If anyone wants to come out and help/teach I'm very willing to share and learn. I have another medium sized bear on camera too. I have no problem helping someone out for helping me out!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
