Tomorrow (Sunday) is my last day free to hunt until next weekend... so advice after 2pm tomorrow is much less helpful.
Tonight... while bear hunting... I saw an absolute monster!!!!
He was slinking his way along the edge of a green pasture. when I saw him in the fading light my immediate thought was he was a angus bull...no joke I thought he was a cow!!! Turns out he was a solid black bear no question over 400 pounds. He was every bit of 7 feet long and his head looked 2 foot wide. He didnt have ears!
I came around the bend in the trail to see him at 80 yards... Walking right toward me
I took two steps to get to the perfect tree for a rifle rest and he never saw me but I nearly stepped on a bedded 3x3 blacktail
(I had no idea he was there... probably because I was looking at sasquatch out in the green field!!!!
Well, the buck busted out like a freight train and it disturbed the bear enough that he stepped into the thick stuff and my efforts to circle around and cut him off didnt work but I didnt get the impression he was scared or knew I was there...
I plan to sit that green field tomorrow afternoon hoping to take the bear or maybe even take my bow instead of the rifle to try to take the bear and/or the 3x3 (plus eye guards) as a consolation prize. Maybe in a tree stand.
IN YOUR OPINION....... What the chances of seeing that same old monster boar in that same pasture?
Should I sit quiet and let his repeat what he did tonight? Should I stalk BearManRic down
and buy his magic call to bring my big boy home???
Will I never ever see him there again given they can move 20 miles a day?
This area gets very very little hunting pressure or even human activity... and its a long narrow green grass/clover field that in between a thick fir ridge line and a large river.
what are the chances he will be back tomorrow night?
should I give him extra incentive by calling him with a rabbit squealer?
I want all the opinions I can get!
