2016' Trad-Gang Bear Quest "A Successful GREAT TIME" with plenty of BEAR ACtion

[meathead]

I would move that target in to about 5 yards.  They will be close.  The shots on the two bears that I killed up there were measured in feet not yards.

:eek:  My shot was 7 steps [21']

Bowdoc like his stands low enough that he can just set on it, without climbing! Of course no self respecting bear would get caught anywhere close to him, let alone eat him, so he's safe!I've seen more meat on a chicken wing!

Guess, I can stop working on my 30 yd shot for the time being and spend some time shooting seated  :D

Looking forward to the hunt and sharing a camp!

My first one was 6' up and 10' from the base of the tree. I recall a Bowboc story where he fell asleep in the tree with his feet dangling out of the stand. Bear walked under the stand and brushed his feet with his back!

A bear may take him and burry him though!!!!

Put a stand up last night to practice sitting down as I always stand to shoot at deer.....



I found that being this low and having close shots that it was quit comfortable to shoot sitting!



Just picked out some leaves and shot away

Bowdoc's odor is guaranteed to keep everything away, except hairless bears! Those he attracts, especially the sows! I don't think BD knows what a bear with hair looks like!

I really don't care what the body of the bear looks like.  Hairless is fine.  I'm just looking for fuzzy head with nice ears for a head mount.

Id say upper 70's. We were doing a lot of physical labor so it seemed hotter. Sunday it rained and was humid. I'd definitely pack a mid weight jacket or shirt. I'd also make sure I'd have knee high rubber boots. Some places are really boggy

Got it, thanks Sean!

[Caddo]

Looks like the extended forecast for the first couple days of week one is light rain and partly cloudy skies, High Temps in the mid 60's. Sounds like a break from what we've been getting in Texas!  

Besides, what's a few wet feet to a bunch of STUDS!

[Sean B]

I've been checking the forecast every day and it's been changing every day!!  Just be prepared for everything

[goingoldskool]

If it ain't raining, it ain't bearcamp!

I look forward to stories and pics!

Good luck, shoot straight and God bless,

Rodd

Hope this doesn't happen to the group.
