RE: HOURS ON STAND??????
My bear hunt is open till June 30th. Last night I sat glassing a clearcut for whitetail bucks and one of the nicest black bears I have seen fed out below me between 60-100 yards, for about 30 minutes. Unfortunately the unit I was glassing in last night is closed for bear, unit 6.
I am going bear hunting again this evening, I am trying to mix this in with my whitetail scouting. I am pretty confident before June is over I will have one of the two big bears in my bowsights...I have been after. The last time I was after the two bears I have been targeting....a couple weeks ago, my brother passed up the big black one. I sat right beside him and he decided not to shoot. He said he wanted me to kill him. I am now only archery hunting them, he was rifle hunting...so I will be in there tonight...on the ground.. waiting for him to come to feed. No bait, so its a little tougher. I really want to get one of the two big fellas this way. no bait ....no dogs... off the ground..I got him pretty dialed, he should show up this weekend, I will keep ya posted... That bear I saw last night...wow it was a beautiful creature... I kicked myself for not packing my video camera, I did have a friend with me...he really liked the bear as well..
