Well I guess I am only one out on this lucky day. Out with my son still try to get one hoping tonight the night. Maybe with the rain coming tomorrow they will be on there feet before dark. Camara have been slow. But never know good luck

Couldn't go this morning but heading out now to a spot I haven't been to this year.  Looking to see if any of the scrapes are getting worked again, then sit someplace.  Anyplace.  One is just as bad as the other.  Good luck mbh, and anyone else out before the rain hits again.

out in zone 12 just put up a treestand and i’m hunting it hunting a scrape line seen a buck from afar yesterday going to sit and see if he’s worth taking if he comes through and he isn’t worth it might take out a doe depends if i wanna drag or not😂

I'm sitting.  This heffer come in with kids and lays down till the wind swirled

had the buck i was after come through nice buck but needs another year had rust looked to be a small drop tine or a kicker. a little bit after him a spike and a doe no shot at the doe. gotta say it’s cool to sit over a bait pile and have deer come in but nothing beats watching deer in there natural environment i prefer hunting without bait any day!

Found a rub and couple scrapes. One scrape is in the exact same spot as last year and has been expanded.

Went out for bears this morning with the intentions of sitting till noon the switching up and going for deer the ass that I am got down from tree and started packing up only to hear a crack look up and have a 200ish lbs bear standing 20yrds away FML at that point my brain was shot if I sat till noon I'd be home skiing a bear, hoping for the best 1st deer just moved though waiting on his daddy to show

[Turkeyslayer]

Got a great wind going for me tonight seen some smaller bucks since the last few deer gotta say not much of a religious man but when i do pray it’s usually 20ft up a tree love every day i get to sit out in these woods

Sow with 3 two year old cubs were within 15 to 20yds. Could be the same sow I seen here last year when they were newborns. Pics later. Reception here is terrible.

3 wow, doubt they were 2 years old mama would have kicked them out.A newborn black bear weighs about eight ounces. A year later, that cub is somewhere between 30 and 70 pounds. A young male, 1-1/2 years old by autumn is likely to weigh between 100 and 120 pounds, while a 2-1/2 year-old will tip the scales at 150 to 170 pounds.

When they first came out in the spring of last year and they are 2yo this year, with mom, and I mostly see sows with 3.
