Good points there Dan, allot of what you say I can agree with! The toughest for me so far has been that elusive big bull elk! I've had some close encounters but yet have I been successful in getting one. I've passed on a few small bulls knowing the 5x5 or 6x6 was still coming but they seem to always get away. The 2nd toughest for me would be a big mature black bear. I'm not talking a 300lb bear. I'm talking about the 400 to 500lb bear, skull size 20'' and up. We've had them at our baits but these certain size bear really get nocturnal quick on us and usually if any only offer you one opportunity on getting a chance at one of these so you better not screw it up if giving the chance. I've got pictures to prove the size of bear I've got hitting my baits, just getting them to come in during day light ours is another thing. In allot of ways they are just like a big mature whitetail buck, they won't do much moving around during the day but allot at night. Thats why there fun to hunt I guess, its so challenging and exciting!! Shed33 also had some great points in his post as well, I can relate to what he says some too.
