Title: What would you do..
Post by: marmotsafari on October 24, 2011, 07:40:48 PM: So I failed to connect on high buck, and only got out to hunt 2 days during modern rifle so far. I have this thu and fri off- but the areas I know best will be off season. I did almost close the deal on a black bear feeding on a slope last week..

So do I head out for points unknown looking for a deer and hope that bear is in the same area after modern, or do I head back to the same spot this week with the sole purpose of getting that bear???

Gotta say I am leaning towards that bear!

Post by: marmotsafari on October 25, 2011, 04:27:29 PM: ok.. I am thinking bear too..

Gotta do a little research- if this guy will likely be out on the same slope, time of day etc.

I do hope he runs down hill.. or drops flat when hit!
