Muleyman Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Well folks, in a little over a month from now, we will be leaving for bear hunting. We leave May, 22. We are going too Dore Lake Lodge. It will be and 8 1/2 hour drive up north. We will be starting each day by getting out fishing and coming back at like 2 or something then eating then heading out to the bear stand. And since the sun stays up so long that time of year. We will be out in the stand until like 10. I think we are all set and have everything that we are gonna need. I can not wait. Wish me luck guys. I will talk more about it closer to then.

Wobbly_Alaska Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Good luck Muley!!! we will be headed out about the same time for blackies here... got a Trip planned on the Yukon river this year. my wifes boy is headed home in may ( he stayed last winter with Dad in ID) and we are hoping to put him on a nice bear this year.. ( age 12) Griz season i upon us ANY DAY NOW! planning a trip around the 1st of may to the high country I hope you do great this spring, those long daylight hours are a blessing, and gets you closer to the bears normal hours, we are already at 15 hours 6 min a day here and growing by 7 min a day. keep in mind.. Bears see in color, they see and hear as good or better then we do.. and have a better nose then a white tail... BUT! they always know your there regardless of scent control. just don't move let them settle into your stand and settle down... watch them for a while... to get a better idea of boar or sow, and whether or not there are any cubs. that is the BEST part of hunting out of a bear stand. Good luck... i am amped waiting my turn this year too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobbly_Alaska Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 K thanks guys. I just cant take my mind off of it. LOL my step son is the same way... i took him on his first bear hunt in 2008, we had a nice 4 year old hanging out and i set up a blind for it and set him up... with some sents out and some calling we went to work about 10:30 pm... shortly later he being 10 started to do the bored shuffle and i told him to take a nap for a bit ... 2 min later the hair comes up on my neck and i touched his foot... said... " don't go to sleep yet" as he sits up the front feet of this nice spring blackies appears through the under brush as this guy is sneeking in on us.... the entire stand started to SHAKE!!!! the boy was ALL a quiver and speechless as he viewed his first ever bear. 2 min later the death moan of the bear from taking his 243 settles down... and i help him get him self together... all he could say..... "when those feet showed up, I ALMOST PEED MY PANTS!" then LOUDLY " DUDE YOU ROCK!" one of my prouder moments as a step dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
