Just received another report from my brothers about the “bear hunting” forecast. Things are looking about as good as they can be, with all baits being “slammed,” and my 4-wheeler even got fixed. (chain) Randy says at least two of the spots have huge bear visiting, and Darryl is going to throw up a couple trail cams to see what time the “big boys” are showing up. He (Darryl and Derek) are leaving today with another trailer full of bait. Once there they’ll set up stands and put the camera’s out. We don’t usually hunt the mornings, so Thursday evening should be full of excitement. I wish I could be there with them, but am going to have to settle for a phone call late that evening.
The bear in this trail cam picture is still in the area, as far as we know. He’s old, big, and smart, and Darryl is hoping he makes just one little mistake. These big ones don’t get that way by being stupid, so the chances of fooling him are slim, but that’s what keeps us coming back. There is also a big one coming into one of the baits close to camp, which it seems Randy and Justin are going to set up on. Just a few more days and we’ll see if all our hard work has paid off.

Glad to hear that the four-wheeler got fixed, and the bear are slamming the baits. I bet it’s just killing you that you can’t be there, Mike. Keep us updated on how the rest of the crew does.
Looks and sounds like you got all good news!… that bear looks like one I’d not want to meet up with unexpectedly!!I can just imagine how the adrenaline pumps when one like that comes in!
