    Likewise. Our experiences sound similar. Memorial weekend is my usual killing time too.

    .257 Weatherby Magnum for Idaho spring black bear?

    Shoot, I dropped one out of a tree at 20 yards with a 56 pound longbow and a wood arrow and he was dead about 2 seconds after the arrow blew through him. You’ll be fine.

    Hunting bears with a portable treestand in North Idaho? (Spring 2024)

    Thank man. Nothing but crows on the camera so far, but I’ve never been able to bait this early, so I have no idea what to expect.

    Hunting bears with a portable treestand in North Idaho? (Spring 2024)

    So I went against my own advice and set up a 21’ ladder stand like 12 yards from my bait lol. I found a good deal on a great stand and figured why not?

    Idaho Spring Bear

    For those wondering how the activity is: I put my cans up in the usual hot spots this last weekend (Friday), which is really unusual. I’ve never been able to put up baits this early in the season before, so this is a new experiment. So far, no bears to report.

    A full brim hat with a coat of permethrin goes a really long ways to keep the ticks at bay. I don’t go out without one.

    True. I’m shooting these off a Bear Weather Rest and couldn’t be happier...

    Oh baby. And it’s the greenleaf with no red stripe? What a sweet bow. Wish I had the cash.

    Found an old Pearson long bow thought I’d share

    That is the most utilitarian longbow ever.

    Which broadhead are you guys using?

    I do the exact same thing. The Aces are hard to beat. Great price and so easy to sharpen.

    Well, I’ll just say that the artificial scents you add to fryer grease go a long way.

    Depends a lot on the bait site, and what you’re using to lure them in honestly. I have one site that gets hit the night I set it up and hammered as long as I have it up. Then again, I’ve had others like that, but then for one reason or another are left completely alone the next year.

    For what’s it’s worth, I’m in total agreement that a good tab out glove is needed. It’s not worth wrecking your fingers

    Hill Style/ASL Longbows Anyone?

    I had a chance to take my Morning Star out to the 3d course this weekend and shot a 308. It’s the best score I’ve had in while, and it was with the Hill bow. I had a blast. My kid took a couple of video clips. I’ll have to figure out how to upload them.
