Step daughter has a tag this year and the wife should draw a tag next year. So I'm back to baiting bear again. Been a few years since i baited last but there appears to be a very healthy population around. A couple big ol boys and a bunch of them up to 200 hundred pounds with a couple between 2 and 300 pounds.FB_IMG_1693008681630.jpgIMG_20230825_191026.jpgIMG_20230825_191033.jpgIMG_20230825_192518.jpgIMG_20230825_192520.jpgIMG_20230822_180518.jpgIMG_20230822_180452.jpgIMG_20230822_180449.jpgIMG_20230822_180516.jpgIMG_20230822_180521.jpgIMG_20230822_180523.jpgIMG_20230825_192533.jpg
 
Nothing big on my bait here!. 2 years ago I shot a 20” there and that must have been the only big bear in the country as I haven’t had a big one back yet. The berries are almost done here and they are hammering the bait 50 gallons in 2-3 days. Good luck when does season open for you guys?

May I ask what is your bait consists of.
 
Hope you get that big one! I've never hunted bears but it's on my to do list. How's the meat?
 
Bears are so hard to judge for me. Have had numerous on all my cameras this year, think a couple are good size, but really have nothing to compare them to for size.

I don't think any other big game meat varies as much as bear. The flavor is very dependent on their diet. Mountain bear that's been eating acorns, wild grape and berries tastes a lot different than coastal bear that's been fattening up on salmon.
