At about 8:00 I could here some smashing in the bush to the south. It was so noisy I thought I must be a moose or elk. At 8:20 A bear showed up, but the noise did not stop. Mom and three cubs, I thought this was great, until.....they came right in, mom must have caught a little wind and woofed, the lead cub now decided the tree next to mine was the one to climb. The other two cubs stayed about 30 yards away. Mom was upset, I sat still until the cub was down and I talked them away. About 25 minutes later she ( cubs stayed about 40 meter out) was back, I new she was in for the night so about 9:00 I tried to scare them off a little to get down. She stayed! I had to get down with her 17 yards away, she just watched. Well the last night on the stand and finally some excitement. If the pattern stays true pumpkin head will be there at noon tomorrow and the other boar in the afternoon. why could this not have happened one or two days earlier. ( we will see what the trail says.) Had to leave everything so will report as my final post ( re: 2014 baiting) when I pick up the stand, barrel and trail cam. Got some good video tonight, will try to load it up.
Now S and S at the ranch, should be good dandelions are at their peak.
