Nice job Fred. Did you ever try any sow in heat lure like I gave you a couple of years ago? Its not the real thing , but may have given that old bear a reason to get into and stay in position longer. I think it might be a good idea to set two stands on that bait so you can quietly move from one to the other as needed. Since there is a slight hill by that bear, I think that old bear keeps a pretty good eye on things and is one reason why that bait is so productive with multiple bears. Great story and I hope you guys get him next time, or maybe he has fallen to an arrow already this week. Thanks for bringing us along. All the pictures are great and I can see myself there right now having a "quiet" discussion with Marty, Fred, Barry, Tom, Paul, and all the gang. Thanks, Mike
