Bear hunting with camera

[ozark]

Yesterday I sit in my hunting shack a couple hours. Seen three bear but no deer. When the bear move in the deer move out.

What range were they at. Looks like an easy broadside shot

RAF the feeder is fifty yards. the bear standing in the grass is at 80 yards. Making killing shots would be easy. Along with the bear comes a problem.....I mainly want to feed the deer but the bear comes in and takes over. The gorge themselves and move into a thicket and bed down until they feel they can eat again. The deer smells them, alerts and leaves the area. If anyone knows a solution othe than shooting the bear illegally tell it to me. I find the bear aggrivating, covered with flyes, ticks and some stink like a dead hog. To the bear lovers, bring a snare and come and get all you want as pets. lol. ben

When the bears come the deers go. Truer words were never spoken.

Ben,

Some I know have used a single wire fence, about knee high. Use one of those extreme fencers, weed burner, bull dozer or whatever is on the market now. Hang bacon strips on the wire. The theory is deer will jump the fence and bears will bite the fence and then leave for a long time.

Of course, the deer will not come around until the bears depart. We try to use things like beets and cabbage, avoiding grains and apples. Hard to find a good cabbage reasonable this time of year though.

Good luck,

Scott

nice photos Ozark! the only way i can think of is remove the food for spring when the bears my be more active. not sure in your area. and only put food out just prior to hunting season. no food no bear. at least id hope!

A game warden offered a ride into town to a man that liked to talk. Before getting to town he told the warden that he had killed six bear that week. "You obviously don't know who I am." " I am the Game warden for this area." The man looked out the window a moment and then said: "Sir, I am glad to meet you, I am known as the biggest liar in these parts."

A game warden, hearing that a man he knew was using explosives to catch fish, asked the man to go fishing with him. The warden had his rod and tackle but the man just a box. They get to a good spot and the man pulls a stick of dynamite from the box, lights it and throws it overboard. The warden is of course shocked and stammers that that is very illegal and he is going to arrest the man. The man calmly takes another stick out of the box, lights it and while videotaping it tosses it to the warden. He of course freaks out, juggles it for a second and throws it overboard. The man said, if you don't tell, I won't tell..!!!!! Rich...
