hey gang, update
Sorry I aint been posting much, spring is finally here.
Been rainbow fishing pretty hard over the weekend. We figured between the 2 of us we nabbed over 50 bows apiece in 2 days. What a riot, espically for interior Ak where their is no wild bows. For stockies these were nice (23-25" ers, lots of 18+)
I' ve also been videoing a arra making friend of mine on his black bear bait. He missed a hoss 3 nites ago. Figures it was the nite I was out fartin around fishing. Went out the past 2 nites. The first nite (monday nite) 2 bears came in. No shot was presented. I am thinking it was a sow with last years cub and he wasnt going to shoot anyways. Its wild though how the bigger bear looked much more like a boar then a sow, very blockey head, ears to the side. Neither where real shooters anyways and we had a blast watching them. The little guy (looks like last' s years cub and a definate sow at that) was real skittish. Even the squirells would send her on the run. The bigger of the two would eat from behind the barrel. Lesson learned for my pard. I was their to tape and try and estimate their sizes and sex' s before he thought of shooting. The bigger bear humored us with many attempts to come in. For whatever reason she liked running around the bait from one side to the other a good 20-25 yards out much past our visibility as its one thick snotty place he has his bait in. She' d sneak in, and run out the other side. I was thinking their was another bear around, who knows it never showed itself.
Last but not least, I am leaving tomorrow to go guiding black bears. Will be back on the 7th. I' ll check back in with hopefully some pics and for sure some kind of story LOL.
