Black Bear Stole My Feeder!

My dad took this as an opportunity to clean out the fridge of old strawberry and other jellies. So, this boy is eating plenty of sweets too aside from corn.

Happy Bear!

I wish I had some more pictures of this guy, but my camera's battery got too low to run the motion detector even though the battery light wasn't flashing. Didn't take any photos for a few days. Hopefully it will work now with fresh batteries.

I can tell you that there is  A LOT of bear crap everywhere down there now. He's leaving it everywhere.  It's like a mine field.

I have been practicing with my Pearson recurve and I think I'm going to be able to take him with my traditonal bow.

I've been excited about trying to get this done. I'm just hoping this guy shows up during the day while I'm out there so my first trad kill can be a big 300+lbs bear.

It's getting close now. It's just five days away now until archery season opens for bear.

I went out on the stand for about seven hours today. The bear had two days where he didn't show up but then he came back at noon yesterday.

He went for a solid week not missing a beat.

I guess with it being really windy he may be keeping low since he won't be able to smell as well. I don't know.

I just hope he shows up tomorrow or this weekend. Only have a few days I can hunt.
