Well - I've had a very challenging bear season to say the very least. My season is about to close (June 7th) and I still haven't gotten my bear. How has everyone else done?? Any success stories and/or interesting things?

Do you have bait and trail cam out? I don't have bait out, so I knew I would have to get pretty lucky. I did find myself watching over some nice sunny meadows in an area where I know bear are. But it was not to be this year. I worked harder on bagging a turkey.

No bait allowed up here in our unit. I know quite a few people that were out... a LOT. Saw a few, all were small. I know of two harvests for friends, both smaller bears. Almost everything is spot and stalk these days. Most of the dog runners have stopped due to the wolves.
2 more days for you! good luck.

My buddy and I put our baits out the week after the opener and have been running all 5 sites since then. We each have a big bear we've got our sights on, but we're yet to make it happen! The bear I'm after I've named Houdini - he has an INCREDIBLE ability to disappear when I hunt the stand. He has been coming in every single day for a month - and yet in 9 hunts we've never seen him. He changes his habits the day of or before we hunt, it's infuriating. We have great wind and everything, it's baffling. I've got tomorrow to close the deal, here's hoping!

Good luck tomorrow. Looking forward to the pics! Well...bear season closed, and despite 10 hunting days and countless baiting days - I was unsuccessful. Houdini survived, and here is his mug shot - so that EVERYONE can identify this frustrating bear! Attachments:

Nice pic - I can see why you were holding out for that guy!
I assume you'll be picking up the hunt again in the fall?

Definitely a good looking critter! I always love to see the off colored bears. Better luck to you next season!
