5 years of baiting the same spot.

Awesome. How tall is the bear nose to tail?
If you get the skull bleached let us know what that tallies. Great piece of work.

I can't help but wonder if he was somehow injured last year and had a rougher hibernation this winter.

This is a pic of him in 2018....

Now, I'm not so sure about targeting him this year. I might wait to see what other boars show up...and give this guy a pass for one more year.
But then again, last time I decided to give a different big coloured bear one more year, after watching him over a period of 8 years...he never showed the following spring, I never saw him again! |
Why in the world did you not shoot that thing last year? :-)

Obviously to let it grow since that seems to be the most common AO response

Man, I'm not sure they're growing any more. I think they're passing away from old age!

Company in my stand
Lots of action at my bait station. Came in and found a bear sitting in my stand and I suspected it wasn't the first time. I put a camera in the next tree.
