Congrats on the 2 nice bruins. Great start to your season.
Thanks! I would've got it on film if there was some background noice to hide the click sound the cam makes but it was quiet and he was already very weary so I didn't risk checking to see if it was recording.
Over bait! We can bait starting 30 days prior to season. So I've had bears feeding for 4 weeks, got em on a schedule. Opening day just happened to be the hardest cold front of the week and we made it happen!
15 yard chip shot!
Yes, I eat everything that I harvest (besides coyotes). I prefer to do the steaks in a pressure cooker, chunked, with red potatoes, onion, garlic, roasted tomato and carrots. Once they are done it is jarred and stored for later consumption. As for grind, spicy bear jerky is great, also I do sausage and meatballs. Bear meatballs compliment pasta well as long as it's made with red sauce! Not so much on the straight cut burg though, I trim my bear LEAN and don't prefer to cut it with pork much, just enough to make meatballs stick.
Hey thanks for the ideas......I've watched several videos on how to prepare bear meat on youtube. I may have an opportunity in Arkansas. They have a bear season in Arkansas on a quota system and I've been invited to camp and hunt north of Hot Springs on national forest land. It's during deer season also so if opportunity knocks I may just have to open the door.
