This week's bear P . . . P . . . P . . . PICTURES . . .

[Ms Grit]

Makes me nervous walking in there at this point.  Fairly confident there are 5-6 mature bears and 1 with 4 cubs visiting regularly.

I actually talk out loud to myself and very loudly going in and out, lol

This is great!  Not only are you attracting today's bears, but they are training the cubs to return to your spot!  This should be a good producing site for generations.  Love the markers on the trees, I assume they are there to calibrate heights and such.

Nice. 3 barrels,,,, Ms Grit you are crazy in love with bear hunting . Good luck on another monster. 

 

Is that the same spot but 2 different camera angles?

Good pics!  Was going to ask the same thing haskel did about the markers.   If you keep talking on your way in, sooner or later they will hear you as the pied piper, and come running in before you can get out.  Mace wouldn't be a bad idea.

You are correct

I'm really not that obsessed.  The other 2 barrels need to be removed but haven't been yet. And yes on the camera question.  I actually have 3 there.  The other takes video.

You could actually probably train them.  Ring a bell or blow a whistle every time you bait - just wait until you are walking out.  Then, on the day you hunt, get set up and ring the bell/blow the whistle.  I actually trained a pair of barred owls to come to live mice this exact way, as part of a telemetry project I worked on.  I was going to try it last season for bear, but I didn't bait regularly.

I do carry a small can of spray attached to my hip.  Would really prefer to get a quad and a trailer, but having just bought a new truck, I don't think that is in this years budget.

I do bang the buckets together just before I leave.  Fastest I got a picture was about 20 minutes after I left.

Great looking bears Robin. 
Do what i do when i bait for bears bring some one older than you like Brian aka bucksandbows  So you can run away quicker

Start singing so they know your there and they will leave you alone since they know it's the lady with the goodies. You have to sing the whole time so pick a a couple good songs

 

SS!
