That is a beauty of a bear.  Hope you can get a pop at him!!  I'll bet you're getting some good exercise bringing all that bait in!

I sat for five hours this evening.  no sightings but im sure I heard at least two moving around close.  the wind wasn't great but they will just have to get used to it.
on another note last night I think this is a new bear.   head to body ratio is different as well as some color

This is a great thread! Gotta love Alaska, I can't imagine living in a place where I could bait and hunt brown bear.
