The results.
Sat in the stand for 8 nights, saw probably 12 different bears. I waited for my dad to come up for the weekend before decide to take one. Lots of small ones. Likely 100lbs or so. One bear maybe over 225lbs and the rest right in around the same size as the ones we took, 150lbs. I could have waited for a bigger one but goose season is fast approaching.
2 nice little bears. 140-150 pounders I think. A short fat one and a tall lanky one. Both in very good shape. Mine at 5pm dads at 6pm. Skinned and hung before dark. That doesn't happen very often on a bear hunt.
Had problems with a pushy outfitter who started baiting 3 days before he had his American clients show up (7 days after the season opened). The best part is he put the guy in a stand 80yrds from my bait site and stand
.
Minor squabble with outfitter= outfitter f**ked off (smart choice by him)
I dont know how much a guy pays for a bear hunt but if I was the client I would be very pissed. I talked to the hunter from Virginia and he said they only had 3 bears for 7 guys and he hadnt seen anything all week. I didnt have the heart to tell him how many bears we had seen. Who ever this outfitter is he sure doesn't put to much effort into getting his clients bears. The fella from Virginia could have sat in my stand the next night and likely had his pick.
