You boys act like you’ve never picked out the biggest doe and pulled the trigger, knowing dang good and well that spotted one was with her.

Not apples to apples, more like sows to does. A million deer, 6,000 bears, cubs stay with sows longer than fawns stay with does.

Yes I know. We just have a lot of judges, jurors, and executioners here

Sure. We’re all just coming out of the summer heat. Need a gun season to open. Trigger time will take the edge off. Man.

DD knows the difference, he’s just stirring the pot a bit.

Well I was back today on the trail where I watched a couple bears walk yesterday and didn’t even see a squirrel. I had the thermals in my favor and everything else that I could think of was right. I felt so confident that I brought in the frame pack with me and figured I could pack out the biggest bear I saw yesterday in two loads.
If anyone hasn’t figured it out yet, bear hunting in Arkansas with or without bait is hard. Especially if you’re trying to shoot one with a longbow.
The kids haven’t had any luck on the baits this year either so far. We’ve still got bears coming in but they’re almost always after dark. I’ve pretty much handed the zone 2 private land to my nephew this year and he’s done very well considering the timber was thinned three weeks before we put out baits. I’ll be out again tomorrow trying to stumble into one on public but it’s not looking good for us this year.

We had a bear come in 5min after we got set up. Stood 20yds behind the barrel, stared down the blind, and turned and walked away. Imma have to come up with a different game plan.
