Hopefully he will have the courtesy to consume large amounts of an internal deodorant such as Nullo. Which is another tip to keep the human odor to a minimum (two schools of thought on the scent control issue).
Where you headed in MB kenfred ? I just did a spring hunt/sit up there.

no problem kenfred…. I do it A L L the time… These huntin’ junkies, all own boats & rods too, they just turn into one track mind machines when the acorns start droppin’ along with the temp
Thanks-
Bear huntin’ & fishing go together like Johnny P.’s Hooters girls and roller skates. Uff da!
Anyhow, back to nocturnal bears-here’s another gem:
Have three guys go in and two sit(one guy baits and leaves). About an hour b/4 dark, one guy leaves and the other stays put, ready to drop the hammer, ’cause Old Smokey figures the hunter has left for the day.
Game over!

Great looking bear kenfred! What did the big boy weigh?
Question for you guys…..how important is scent control when your putting out bait? It has to be tough in the middle of a dense forest, little breeze, 90 deg. and high humidity, you must have a pretty good odor about you by the end of the day??? I know bears can bolt at the first wiff of a human, but is the smell of fresh Otto’s Bakery too powerful to stop them?
Believe it or not, that was a sow. Measured 67 inches nose to tail and girth was also 67 inches. Call her my “square bear”. Scale at the lodge only went to 500, so all we have to go on is tables of measurements. Estimated 20-25 years old, weight 585-600. Skull scored 18 0/8 after drying time.
Oh sure, Mr first timer …. You will look dang funny tied to a tree with honey all over you

That is an unbelievable sow! Congrats!
Thanks for the kind words.
Starting Monday, I’ll be looking for her twin brother.
