Do you play the winds where you bear hunt?
Where I hunt, it’s the biggest hurdle, bears do not tolerate you at all. How about you?
I’ll go S far to say you have one time to kill a good boar, if he winds you, very low chance he comes back to the bait.
I know bear baiting is like fishing, trapping, etc, and knowledge comes over time. I've been baiting for awhile now in easy areas, and in the Mountain West where there can be a bait every mile or less. In terms of call scents, have you seen a difference between say some rotten fish, meat, etc vs...
So the last 10 or so years we’ve all been seeing a lot of fires. Well, my main bait station got torched this past fall. The whole ridge is gone except the very end face that sits above the crick bottom.
The primary area the bears normally came from is burnt a bit, but still a lot of Timber...
What you think? This ram is hard to judge, but I'm thinking he will get there. Average bases in unit go from 15 up to 16. If there is one weakness on him, it may be length but if he gets to 35 or 36, I think he's there.
I've seen him two years in a row now, hoping a friend can draw the tag...
