Hey Moosie, we placed 6 baits out last Saturday and Sunday. I couldn't resist going and checking a couple Monday. 1 of them had already been hit. We ended up trying the plastic barrels. If they get tore up we have some metal ones ready to go. I will take some pictures this weekend and try to get...
Congrats Tobey!! Sounds like you are off to a good start. How wide would you guess the pad on the front foot of the 255# bear to be? Can you judge the weight fairly close by looking at a track? If not what is a good weigh to judge the size of a bear w/o ever seeing them?
Congrats Maineiac and Jr!!!!! I think I am excited as you are just reading the story. I hope my hunts go as well as yours did. Post some pictures. I would love to see the smile on your boys face. I'll bet he is grinning from ear to ear....:D
I drove up to my in-laws Friday evening and spent the night there. I got up about daylight Satuday mourning and met a buddy to head out scouting. We drove to the first place we were going and got out and started hikeing. The first mudhole we came to had a big o'l bear track in it.. OK not a...
CC, My first and only bear weighed maybe 150 lbs. I would shoot him again if I hadn't killed one. I am going to try for a bigger one this year but, if the quota is getting close to being filled I may just settle for another small one. I aint picky...:D
Moosie, No chance for spot and stalk around here. If you spot'em just shoot,em....:D You will be with in a 100 yards already. Thats about as for as you can see. I went scouting this weekend and found some sign. We can start baiting September 1, so I am going to put out two baits the first...
Thanks Guys! I am going to give it a try this fall. I don't have access to any donut shops or anything so I am going to try all grain. I can buy it for about $4.50 a bag. My wife's grandmother owns a restaurant so I can get all the grease and scraps I want. I have managed to kill a bear here and...
Tobey, What would be considered a high calory count for dogs? I am feeding a 22% protien and 10% fat feed right now. Sounds like I may need to up the two a little if some feed puppy chow.
I've got a box full of puppies... My old gyp had 9 puppies this weekend. One of them died yesterday, but the rest are doing fine. I can't wait to start running them and they are only 3 days old. Nothing like the anticipation of seeing your pups start. Just had to brag a little on my...
I know this has been discussed before but I never paid attention. Looks like the AG&F has opened up bear baiting in AR. How do you guys rig your bait barrels? I have the large 55 gal plastic barrels, will they work? If you can post any pictures of your set ups I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Boomer
Hey BCA, Its good to see ya! I am like George and do not tolerate any barking in my pen. I don't live in the city I just can't stand it. I spray mine with the water hose just like George. One Bark = Wet Dog....:D Works great.
