I'm not planning an every sit thread, tonight was just a great one and thought ya'll would get a kick from it. Especially those that got the text. :D First to show up was a button, pass'n through. Not long a mature doe showed and spooked even though she was up wind. Moments later, a BEAR . Smallish, maybe 150lbs. Then a second BEAR , not bad, perhaps 250, 275. He put on a show, stood scratching his back against a tree maybe 35 yards out. Bad pic, As he moved down wind and hit my trail, he moved right in to 10 yards. They moved off. Very cool. Funny thing is, Ben and I were playing sighting poker. He text'd that he had a button, I called his button. I then said I had a doe and the text'd back oh, your raising me a doe. I then texted BEARS and I got a text, I fold! LMAO. I text Schultzy that he had a limp and I swear he was either carrying his front leg or was a 3 legged bear! :p These bucks came from downwind and crossed my trail, then passed me at 5 yards. :D Same seven point from Saturday evening. Nice thing about these two stands and why they are there, he passed at 5 yards and then walked the field and passed my other stand at 10 yards. That's why they are here, it's a natural funnel. Over 20 years of experience here placed them but ya'll know that. PT, you could have been tagged out again. :p Then this huge 11 point came by: What a gorgeous night.
Dude that awesome!!! What a night out! This is the reason we enjoy hunting, gotta love the sighting poker game LOL! If I was playing I wouldnt ever win a hand cuz I never see much LMAO Very cool pics of that monster 11 LOL!
Nice leven point helluva spread nice to see AR's are working for us. Where's the video camera? After last year I'm missing the "being there" part.
Awesome pics Rob, Looks like you sure had a full house. I am taking my oldest boy out tomorrow night to try to whack a nanny. Wish me luck. Wayne
Id say awesome night!! Id $*^$ myself if a bear walked in :D us Hoosiers aint used to those kind of things :D great pics bro!
Thanks guys and I have to come clean, I had to walk out in the dark the same direction the bears went. Although I have bear sitings every year, my ears were in tune as I walked out. I wish our bear season would last all archery season, I'd be two for two years thus far. I get to see bears every year. Last year we had this sighting remember, Bear Video Click Me. I saw that bear 3 times, these bears were not that bear. Thanks again.
HUH, That could have some thing to do with the huge bears in PA. The NY season is long,the bears are plentiful though.I have seen 5 in the last three weeks.
I think the bears can smell the doughnuts that Rob carries in his pack. :D mmmmmmmm...............doughnuts Wayne
Cool pics Rob. Just another example of why you don't have to kill something to have a great sit in a stand.
That is true. Awesome pics Rob, looks like you are on the deer....and bear. Good stuff, I wish we had black bears.
My phone was upstairs charging as the wife and I were watching a movie down here... just went up and got it and saw your text! :D I'm SO jealous of you having bears to see during your sits; I can't WAIT to hook up with Dan in a few years and be sitting in one of his stands waiting for one to come in to shoot!
I go bear hunting for 2 weeks and don't even see a bear and ole' Rob goes deer hunting and has 2 bear with In 20 yards, WTF?? I loved the text messages Rob, that was pretty awesome hearing that!! I really laughed when he said maybe one was 3 legged, It seems no matter where you are Rob weird looking animals show up. :D
