Another bear season with no bear.
Lately I find myself struggling to stay in the stand when I am hunting. I remember when I was younger I would love sitting in the stand, I could visualize which direction deer would come from and I'd sit with great anticipation waiting for them to come in. Since I have started bear hunting I have noticed that deer hunting doesn't seem to excite me too much anymore. I don't know if it is because my bear and deer season run together or if I have it my head that I need to shoot a trophy bear? But I think I burn myself out with all the baiting and the number of trips I have to make to the woods. I seen a few bear this year but nothing I would consider a trophy. I'll use Dan's advice and setup a new area next year in hopes of getting and trophy to come in during the daylight. Sorry just rambling, its my last day of work for 11 days and I am very bored.

Bummer on the no bear.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: Another bear season with no bear.
When It comes to any hunting Its called hunting for a reason and not getting. I know you know that natvbearhntr but some people don't. It sounds as though your passion Is with bear hunting and not deer hunting as much. There's nothing In the least wrong with that. We all have our favs.
Best of luck next year!

Re: Another bear season with no bear.
Thanks Guys and thanks for the offer PLB I'll take you up on that before I start next season. I am an experienced hunting but only a couple years of bear hunting. Dan has helped me with stand location and I am going to use that next season and I got a few good tips from other here as well. What I really need to learn is how to get the big bear to come in during the day. I get them on camera late night or early morning but not much during the day. Unless I'm not in the stand of course.. lol.. Thanks again.

Re: Another bear season with no bear.
Never bear hunted before, but could you use terrain to change it up a bit? Might be a stupid suggestion. Try to stay positive
