Problem with Bear!!!
Hi, I have a problem with a bear hitting my bait pile. (for deer) It is opening weekend here in Wisconsin and he came in on the second evening, laid down on the bait and started munching. I dont mind him being there but I have two questions.
1. Will the deer still come in if he is eating there too? 2. If not how do I stop him from coming around? I hope I do not have to move the stand because it is a good spot I have hunted there for 2 years now and have seen plenty of deer. Thanks |
RE: Problem with Bear!!!
How do you stop him from coming out? Quit putting bait out.
Will the deer stop coming around? This late in the summer when the bear are trying to fatten up before hibernation, would you want to possibly be his next meal? I think the answer to that one is YES. |
RE: Problem with Bear!!!
Find someone with a tag and have them take him out. RuttNutt is looking for someone in area D to take one out for him today .

1. Will the deer still come in if he is eating there too? Most likely no!
2. If not how do I stop him from coming around? He won't quit coming unless maybe you scare him away yourself. |

I actually saw a bachelor group of three bucks, last weekend. Walked about twenty yards from my stand. I'm not sure if they'll eat your bait. But at least where I live, they come around. They were not scared, or jumpy in the least. 2. You won't stop him from coming around, as long as the bait is there. Unless you scare him away. |

I had one on my bait yesterday also. I tried to scare him away but that didnt work. He exited the field and five minutes later was five yds behind my stand starring at me[:-]. I yelled at him to try and scare him, but he just stompped his front feet and looked at me and turned around. He stompped one more time, then walked off. Five minutes later, he was back to eating corn and apples!!!! He finally spooked a bit when I shook the tree next to me a made a load of racket.....Anyone around northern wisconsin with a bear tag to fill is more than welcome to come lay the smack down on him......
