Right on Griz. I wonder if it was your bear picture I saw once in the N.C. potato field. 800 lb brute it was. The electric fences seem to work real well. They repect those. A friend recently gave me some 12 ga shells with a bean bag in them. Im going to try them out, especially on the ones who come ...

A.W. - Thats a handicap chair lift on the left side of the steps. He's about 75 to 100 lbs. He was a cub last year. It's amazing though how fast they grow and put on weight. Last fall was one of the best mast crop years I've seen in quite awhile and Im sure they all put on a few extra pounds before ...

There is a main ridge with two feeder ridges coming off it. One ridge goes right to the county dump while the other goes right to my cabin. This probably explains the large population of bears I see. One fellow down the road from me hand fed the bears. The game warden warned him that it wasn't a goo...

Here is a picture of the same bear coming up my front steps.[/img]

I haven't tried posting pictures before. The bear looks like he is just standing there under the bird feeder. Actually he is just wa...

One other thing about Boo Boo. He walks around upright quite a lot. I don't know wether it's because he has been watching me since he was a cub or he is just trying to see over the laurel but it is the stangest thing to see. He looks like sasquach coming down the ridge. He strolls right along front ...

Gee. Northbaydude is probably going to move to New York City after reading all these posts. I'll be looking for his excal to show up on ebay soon.

Bears are quite territorial as a rule except for feeding places. It's common to see them with ripped up ears and scars. It seems that the only time they'll tollerate each other is when they're in a common feeding area like a berry patch or the county dump. They're fun to watch as they are so fast, s...

Holy smokes A.W.. That was freaky. I can just see myself trying to get the can out of its holster, flipping off the safety, reading the directions not to point it at my face, taking aim, taking a dump, etc. How long did all that take 2 to 3 seconds? Thats how I always thought a bear would attack. No...

I have the large size pepper spray but it always seems to be in the spam instead of on my belt when I run into one. I see bears every day as my property is right in the middle of their path to the berry bushes. Most are good bears and run off when they see me. There is one big male however that is p...

Im kind of jealous Grey Owl. I miss the snow and cold temps. The only deer I got this year, a seven pointer, came on our coldest day (17degrees). It was about the only day that the cold weather got the deer moving. The deer are almost wiped out in the place I hunt because of the yotes. You never see...

Im in also but I kind of think that everyone who signed this pledge was always in anyway. I love this site for its insites on equipment and the wonderful hunting stories from around North America. Being able to converse with Canadians has also been a real treat. Canadians have always been some of th...

I am sort of curious about what weather conditions we have had around the country during this winters hunting season. Im especialy curious about the weather our Canadian brothers experienced this year. As for myself I never even had to put on long johns this year and generaly wore sneakers instead o...

It's illegal to feed deer in my area during deer season. I do feed them from January through March when I have to stop due to the large numbers of bears hanging out on my property. I don't feed them to draw them in but rather to insure their good health going into spring. There is quite a differance...
