Title: Bear scat???
Post by: t6 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

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.
