    This is a Vortex Viper HST 6-24x50 with the VMR 1 reticle. Great scope, just too much base magnification to be useful for what I’d hoped. Had it mounted on a Bergara 6.5CM and ran 50-100 rounds through it with it mounted. After that I took it off. Rings were tightened to spec with a torque...

    Awesome! I’ll make sure to keep this thread updated as I go along. It’ll be a little bit before I go because my wife is 37 weeks pregnant with our second child, first son. One of my friends will go check the cameras and send me pics, I’ll post them here along with anything he finds.

    Ok, I'll have to keep an eye out for Beech nuts too. Clay Newcomb repeatedly talks about bears liking them too.

    I've heard that as well, "I was just sitting in my deer stand and this bear walks by". I am still learning the area but there seems to be an abundance of Oak and Hickory trees. I have yet to find any berries on anything but I am mildly confident I can identify the plants before they have...

    Haha well it all started for no shave November. I grow a mean mustache and my wife HATES it. I gave her a choice between a mullet and a mustache and she chose the mullet.

    It’s entirely possible, I picked the spot because the leaves had been cleared all over the area and the ground was dug up in patches

    Yes! I love it. The only reason I originally got it was because I intended to use this particular firearm (Glock 10mm 40MOS with about $1,300 of custom work done on it) for hunting. I didn’t want this 10lb turd pulling my pants down on one side so I went with the chest harness and it’s so...

    I’ll make sure to update as I go! Haha thank you, it’ll probably be much longer and uglier next time you all see me.

    1st Time Kentucky Black Bear Hunting

    Hey everyone, I finally got a chance to go check the game cameras. One camera produced about 115 pictures (three shot burst on), the other one produced 2150 pictures (three shot burst on). No bear but a ton of turkeys, whitetail, and squirrels. I moved one of the cameras farther east, much...

    Well I went out and pounded the hills for about 7 miles. Man those things are steep. Marked areas heavy with oak and hickory trees. We saw a couple deep deep scrapes into Dead trees with bugs. This one pictures was relatively recent because all of the bark and wood scraped off was above all the...

    I'm hoping to get out there to pound some ground in the next month or so. I'll post findings in this thread for sure.

    Awesome! I am hoping to hit archery season a little harder anyway so if that rings true for KY then I’ll have better sighting opportunities anyway. I am treating the Modern forearm season as a “just in case” week. I have done some research and the area I would like to hunt is only two hours...

    Yeah no bait here, most of our public land here is very hilly. Would you recommend getting a group together and driving them anywhere that would be a bit of a geographical “funnel” or just to an open spot? I mean, in the end it’s a bear and it will go where it wants to go, but what has worked...

    That’s alright, thank you! I know KY’s not known as a great bear state so the people with experience here are probably few and far between. I imagine that a strip mine would draw animals in almost the same way that a burn does. All the canopy is been chopped, and all the growth is young. Does...
