Default RE: Alternative Bear hunting tactics.

Blasting bears eh, well you don't know much about me then, I do it with sticks.

Successful hunting in all facets deals with exploiting an animals weeknesses. For whitetail hunters there is the rut, exploitation of the animals need to propogate. Hunting fields or crops ,taking advantage of the animals need to eat. Sitting water holes in the desert waiting for the antelope to water, using the need for water. Calling gobblers in the spring and using decoys, again using the need to breed and again, exploiting the animals weekness. Sitting a mule deer migration route, thus exploiting the animals needs to escape heavy winter snows.

Using the animals weeknesses and understanding them is a direct way of becoming a successful hunter. if you ever get a chance, I would suggest sitting in a ground blind having nothing but a sheet of fabric between you and a hungry boar at 5 feet.

Even if one were to spot and stalk bears, I would bet that you will be concentrating on areas with a food source being used by the bears, again exploiting another weekness. I have done the spot and stalk on bears with my bow before and have had good success at that method, but I refrain from helping those who start out by calling me and fellow hunters lame by using other methods.

Trash is not allowed on a bait site and mine are VERY clean. The doughnuts arent bad eating either!!!!
