A bit off topic but these never get old to me.
I picked up two on my camera last week
Well we've had some success on bait, My friends have shot 2 bear one old 10+yr old and a 2yr old. I have two more days for spring hunt. I had a chocolate one come in around 130pm yesterday, I sat on the bait last night and nothing came in. Im sticking it out see what happens. I still have the fall hunt though
Are brown black bears a thing? I thought al brown bears were grizzlies.
Been there done that...got a game cart...only bad thing is I cant leave it in my truck or it might get stolen...yeah luckily the bait isnt far from where I park...I just hope the bear doesn't run far when I shoot it!

Yes, they can be found in brown and some other color phases.

Youngish boar wil? 2 year old maybe?
Is bear meat good eatin'?
Black Bear is delicious. Cook it like pork to kill bugs. Contrary to popular myth, it is not greasy, or strong tasting. I think it tastes a bit like veal.
A tractor is helpful to retrieve and dress :-)
Look to Youtube for caping instructions. It took me 2 hour but I'm getting a rug out of it.
A 300 Win Mag did not appear to be enough gun at 45 yards with a perfect broadsides hit. I'll try a 45/70 405 grain Buffalo Bore round this year.
My wife lost one with a 300 last week, we tracked for hundreds of yards, and nothing after the last blood we found. We had another bear on bait and she got it last night!140lb which is about average size for here...Black Bear is delicious. Cook it like pork to kill bugs.
