This scene plays out every early fall down here in my neck of the woods...

Many big bear won't climb...Hunters have to go in and try to get a shot in all that commotion....it's a huge adrenaline rush!!

Notice the cave in the pic? That bear came out it at the distance of a couple crew cab pickups parked bumper to bumper from where I was standing. Came as a complete surprise to both of us. It was right at the edge of the saltwater and the bear didn't have many options to retreat. Neither did I.

I've told this story before. My first instinct was to throw my gun at it and run.

Good stuff there Posco!!!

Got a good one at my second bait now too

That’s a Brute!!

Banned in WA State.....

Another vinke

Posco, where was that griz?

Brown bear on the peninsula.

I found out I had a barrel of chicken feed and a barrel of quail feed still at home. So I brought in another barrel to each bait.





Checked the cameras while I was there. This bear is big!







This bear made me laugh! Standing on the log on its tippy toes lol.



This bear getting ready to climb up the barrel.



These smaller bears have some beautiful fur coats!!



More bears are starting to show up at the bait now. Took longer than I thought, but it’s a new bait, so it’s normal.
More than one big one here too! They’ll start coming during daylight as more bears keep showing.









I probably won’t get a chance to hunt till next weekend. By then things should start getting good!

Are those barrels welded together or you using those lid clamps?

You're into 'em, Jurassic! Only a matter of time, patience, and luck now! Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moosetrot

Beautiful Jurassic!! I cheering you on!

They’re welded together.

There is one good bear there. Looks like a good one for the taking.
