Spring Bear Continued

[Tikaani]

Well went back to the stand Wednesday evening and last night.  Did not have anything come in Wed. but a bit of a suprise when a young grizzly came in last night he is rubbed pretty good.  This picture was from the other night, can't take pictures with a camera since I am just twenty feet from the bait and the shutter click would scare them off.  Still waiting on a nice size black bear to come in.

Hunt hard, Die tired

    OK.  You guys heard it.  If I don't come back from Alaska you know who to have a little talk with.   

[KySongDog]

If I have a choice between fishing or bear hunting, I'll take bear hunting every time.   Adrenaline is my drug of choice.   

[HuntnCarve]

I have a feeling Semp, you are going to experience the trip of a lifetime!  Good luck!  And have a great time!

Are the Gizzlies in season too or just the Black Bears?

[Hawks Feather]

John,

We had an expo at the Fish and Game yesterday and a guy was talking about black bear hunting.  They mix a mixture that smells like anise and spray it to cover their scent and also attract bears.  There were two guys that go it sprayed on the back of their pants and the bears climbed right up the tree to say hello.  The one guy shot his between the eyes when the head cleared the stand that he was on and the other started yelling and hitting it with his bow to get it off the tree.  You might want to give this a try.  Just don't let Semp know that you sprayed him.

Just black bears Hammer, illegal to hunt grizzlies over bait.  That is what makes them a nuisance this time of year, they will come in eat everything and then tear the place apart.  This one is small, probably run off by his mom this spring, he has not been much of a problem yet.
Semp, fishing in the morning, bear stand in the evening is the plan.  Also you will handle all the fish on the boat as is customary here in Alaska.  I have a feeling we can replace that Adrenaline monkey on your back with something else.

Ok. Thanks for the info.

Thats cool stuff John, and ya know what they say about the speedier hunting partners up here. "Just shoot them in the foot and run"
