Nice job! Looks like a beauty of a first bear! Congratulations!
Late reply. I met a father/son physician team while moose hunting last fall. They were successful no BS bear hunters (who had the photos to prove). They shared that powdered Jello or juice crystals spread around their setups was very effective. Apparently bears would track and spread the scent which would draw in more game. (?)
Do you feel the need to tell everyone that you're a vegan too?
Well I guess it saves the effort of actually getting out into the bush and walking around and locating the game. I know what my old dad and all my uncles and their hunting buddies (mostly loggers) would think of it. Great shots, great stalkers.

If i may address the elephant in the room, wouldn't it be better from a business standpoint to have a client shoot that one? Congrats on the bear you got, nice one.
Congrats on the bear.
I'm a big fan of baiting...both deer and bear. 1. Increases the chance of putting meat in the freezer. 2. Better opportunity for a fast clean kill shot. 3. I've seen some of the coolest things while sitting in the stand. You get to enjoy the ones you're not going to shoot, or see the coyotes up close, other other animals you weren't expecting. Me and my son had a bobcat walk right up to us and look into our blind window last year. I now bring a camera with me and get just as excited about taking pics of the things i see that i'm not hunting, but come in for the bait.

Nice bears taken.
There can be a great deal of effort involved with baiting bears.
Far as I'm concerned there's no difference between sitting on a bear bait or on the edge of a crop field waiting for deer to walk out.
Except bear baiting involves much more work.

It's hunting, did CBC tell you it's not sportsmanlike?
This spring season alone I put 4500 km on the truck, 900 km on the boat, I walked 80 km carrying 70 pounds, I sat in the bush for 100 hours... I watched over 100 bears, two dozen moose, wolves, coyotes, lynx, fisher and Martin, not to mention a plethora of birds and raptors... Yeah, personally I like to hunt too.
