Oh Yeah!!!   We need the story (on both bears)...  Congrats.

How are the baits set up? What type of baits are being used and are there color phase bears?

Another bear this morning, not a tradganger.  Here is a pic of the bear pole, my bear is on the right.  I am leading in the big bear contesr at 185 pounds.  

I would to give more of a story but remember I am using my blackberry for all of this.

In short donuts and grease are the main bait.  In camp we have 13 hunters 4 bear down and all but 3 hunters have see bear and 3 moose sightings.

Bears are just "wild" and beautiful.. Congrats to everyone.. What is typical shot distance?
Has Larry been close on any bears yet?  This follow along is cool.

Roger made a nice shot on this bear last night.

So far there have been 5 bears on the bear pole this week.  The Tradgangers have accounted for 3 of those bears.


Dad had a bear come on 7 times on Wednesday but no shot opportunities.

Its the last day of bear camp.  A 19 year old kid killed a 325 boar last night, that puts tradgangers at 3 bears out of 6 bears taken.

Everyone has pulled stakes except dad and me.  Dad is sticking it out until the very end.

I am out on stand again this evening.  I have the privilage of taking Tony's son Josh out bear hunting.

Wish us luck, even though he is toting a 45-70 (the shells are as big as Josh) this evening he is a future tradganger in the making.

I was lucky to be involved in this hunt. We had an absolute blast. I did not hunt with bow in hand intead I filmed.  I was very fortunate to have been able to film Roger Fulton on his entire Bear Hunt. These guys from Black Widow are top notch. Everyone will be totally entertained once Bill Langer edits and produces this in his next video. I hope to share camp at another time with all who were involved. Hope to have some news of Josh's hunt yet here this evening. I'll chime in later, I've got to unpack the truck. Big Ed

You have to like a guy hunting until the very last minute... Hope Larry has bears in on him tonight.


Thank you for taking us along on this bear quest.

Well I am now setting in the Atlanta airport heading home.

The last night produced no bear sightings but we had fun anyway.

I did hear that Big Ed already has a group booked for next year.  

Maybe I will see you there.

Now its time to start baiting bears in Arkansas.
