2015 Saskatchewan Black Bear (follow along)

[Hummer3T]

Well out again today, something ate all the bait not in the barrel, maybe a wolf or bear?  no really good sign.

I walked 1 km in each direction with a scent drag and then to the truck where I greased a truck tire and went for a drive on some trails.

Hopefully that will bring them in.  Not too much out yet.

[Hummer3T]

Went out and sat for 2 hours today, no sign at bait yet, but some sign in area.  Tried calling, mock fighting, etc.  nothing! very cool here this week, I put bait out for over three weeks none of it is even rotting or smelling.

I'm glad to hear that you're starting to see some sign now. Keep at it, and the best of luck to ya Tim

Hopefully it picks up for you soon.    

[DanielB89]

how long does your season last?


Look forward to your future kill thread!!

[Hummer3T]

DanielB89, only until May 31....very short.  Nothing today again, except a rabbit and some unsuspecting quaders that made a wrong turn.  Sardines and popcorn out tonight, bait is finally starting to smell like it should.

[Brock]

Your season ends when my hunt begins in northern area of province near Carrot River.  Good luck...will be up there in 2.5 weeks.  

[Hummer3T]

Good luck Brock, you will not be much more north but several hundred miles east.  Weather is very weird this year one day twenty c and the next week 4 c.  may want to brings some cold weather and warm  weather cloths.

[Hummer3T]

Well nota thing hitting yet, kind of getting depressed but still hopeful only 13 days in the season left.

Seems to be lots of wolves in the area, might be keeping bears away?  

only things on camera is rabbits, racoons and the occasional baiter. lol

COME ON BEARS!

[elkken]

Sounds like you need a new spot ... two buddies of mine just returned from Alberta with two bears each ( shot with stick bows ) and can't stop talking about how many bears they saw ....

[Whitetail Addict]

Any hunting can get discouraging at times for sure, but you're sticking with it, and I've got a feeling you'll be posting bear pictures any day now.    Good luck.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

[Hummer3T]

[Hummer3T]

A little late and the wrongs sex but at least something.  will post pics tomorrow!  hunt Friday, sat and sun and then season is done.

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Good Luck,. I hope you get to see something!

[Hummer3T]

They were there from the evening before right through to when I put new bait out after work.

The good news is you now know there is a rather large sow in the area...my understanding is that black bear sows only have cubs every second year...those are surely last years cubs though so she will likely have a couple more next year...try to find a way to identify her next year in case you hunt the same area...the small cubs are not always right with mom and you do not want to shoot her leaving her new cubs motherless...our laws here in Alberta prohibit shooting a sow with cubs but technically you could shoot one when the cubs are not visible...I shot a much smaller dry sow in Northern Alberta in 2012

Oh yeah and where there is a sow in heat there will be a boar or two around
