Florida Temps in Spring bear camp when week 4 hunters arrive. Ken and Tim from Wi.. cannot believe it cause last year it was cold cold cold, and rainy. This is great what is it going to do to the Bear. “well movement will be later.” is about all that will happen. Baits are being hit hard we just had 4 inches of rain last week so We will hunt some bait we hunted second week and some baits we had not hunted yet this year. So wait and see is how bear hunting goes.

Brad did his time at the stand. Seeing bears first nite but too dark for the pins. Friday nite Brad heads for the stand. Not long after all settled down in comes this bear, turns and gives Brad a shot. But with time to spare he locks the second arrow to the semi auto bow he releases. 2 arrows in a Bear Now that is a stat not many archers can claim. Way to go Brad. Great bear…..
Brad Nailed it!!

4 nights in the stand, he had seen bear, but no opportunity to release his arrow. He started out with backup of a muzzleloader but last nite of the hunt the bow was what he used to nail it to the ground. Way to go Brad. And he still ahd some cool ones in the fridge to enjoy the evening…..

I shot a Bear JUDY!!!! Now Brian aka Mikey in Manitoba returned in 2010 with thoughts of “No Problem First nite they will put me on a hot bait and I will see bears coming and Going. Well Tom and Judy thought that is what they were doing. Bait was hit hard regularly and a big print.””
But no deal 2 long evenings in the stand and they move him to what Judy says bear crap everywhere, a herd of bears. He is kind of nervous kind of sitting on edge of seat cause he was sure it was going to happen and Yes I could see bear crap on ground.
NowTom shot last nite and there were atleast 4 others at his stand and one big one after dark. So that is where Brian goes. and yes. I saw a bear. and then I saw another bear Awesome this will be a shooter if I get a chance. and Yes the shot made. I have a bear down. Radioing John and we start to track it with the video on and Wow best sight I hav seen MY BEAR…. I got it on video also that is an extra charge and then Oh yes the Blue barrel that is even more. Not sure if Brian is going to afford to go home cause of all these extra charges. So the Comere’ Bear really worked Brian….congrats on a great bear….

2nd time to Big Grass Tom knows what is happening. He does know if farmer is in sight fencing that possiblity of bear coming in is NOT GOOD. But oh well farmer must get his work done right!! and it is a nice evening we will just enjoy. Right Tom!! Enough crap lets kill a bear, John and Judy go baiting and come back with bear crap photos.!!! and some good stories. Brian and Tom will move to new spots, we hunt a new stand and Tom is set. Well he was set. Bears coming and going, He was pumped. He got great video and he made a great shot and he got a great bear. Wow three things that is AN Extra Charge. OH yes he hit the red barrel and that is even a larger charge!!!! I hope check is in the MAIL…….. Tom is a great hunter, good sport and good friend. The rest of the story is……….. not sure how to put it to words but we are still laughing, John picked Tom from the stand in the dark, as luck would have it behind the stand in thick underbrush on the QUAD TRAIL Toms bear happened to takes its last breathe. However due to conditons, Bump Bump was named. YOu can fill in between the lines how ever. That is my story and I am sticking to it. Congrats tom on a great bear.

Bretts first nite in the stand he had not seen anything and then under his stand walked a huge something as dark was killing all chances of shooting. Darn what a RUSH!!! So when this nice 5 fter entered he knew it was a great bear and he pulled his Marlin 44 up and took the shoulder right out with one shot. Brett now has a great Manitoba trophy. Congrats!!!

First nite in the stand Ray has bears at the bait and after dark he is sure this cinnmon comes in when he cannot see his pins. Second nite after seeing a sow and cub he has this awesome color phase bear approach from the left around 6 pm. . He has no worry in the world just keeps coming straight in and heads for the barrel. Rays heart is pumpn He pulls on this Instinct made by Fred Bear and nails the bear with a great shot. Just 15 yds from the bait the bruin colapes. He turns the radio on and Wow there is someone there I really thought the guides never turned these things on till dark. Judy answers and soon after the Quad starts. Ray was not sitting far from the road and in comes Warren with trailer, Judy with camera Of course and Tyler local farmer with a very strong back. Tyler showed up last nite about 11 to pick me up never saw him before. John and Warren and Tom were late getting others out so Tyler picks up the slack. Thanks Tyler.

Now John this is not for Blue Berry pies this is Bear bait. We mix creaam cheese and blue berrie to make our sweet for the Berry pails at the bait sites. Now if I was a bear I think it would be great to feast at Big Grass Baits
