    Learning to black bear hunt in CA

    I’ve been hunting the eastern side where there’s no acorns, but there are pinyon which seem to have a good crop. Bad crop of berries. I’ve been on pinyons for multiple days that are dropping but nothing so far. If nothing in the next few weeks maybe I’ll have to give the western slope a try

    Learning to black bear hunt in CA

    Nope. I’ve never hunted there. and after the last six days I’ve spent glassing only to briefly glimpse a single bear, I’m not sure you’d want by advice anyway haha Bears can move quite a ways for food and then can really hole up and not move much once on a good food source. So if you’re not...

    2024 California Bear

    Anyone have any success in CA? I’ve got 6 days in the field so far and nothing to show for it. Trail cams have dried up the last 3 weeks also. Starting to wonder if they all moved on me…

    2024 California Bear

    Went out for the weekend with the bow. Put a lot of miles on and did some glassing but wasn't super happy with the glassing locations I had e-scouted so mostly stayed on the move. No bears, and only saw 6 deer including one 160inch buck. Was very windy and even got some snow so thinking it's...

    2024 California Bear

    Lion and bobcat were cool to see. The light colored bear was only walking on three legs (won't let me upload the video here). Wasn't using his left hind leg at all.

    SD Antelope Rifle Tag

    If you're hunting private, look into the special antelope tag. The unit I hunt at least, its quite a lot easier to draw, however I think 15 only requires like 3 points

    Just came across this thread while considering a similar hunt. Did you end up doing it? If so, how'd it go?

    Oregon Fall Bear 2024

    Are these public land closures or logging companies? Makes me less excited about Oregon, might just apply for SE Alaska.

    E-Scouting New Areas

    Depending where you're looking, State provided data can be quite helpful. Such as harvest maps, population densities, other info like food sources etc. I also use google earth to get detailed views, and then Sentinel Hub EO Browser to get a very recent view to see snow condition, how green an...

    2024 California Bear

    Do you usually leave cameras up over winter? I was trying to decide if I wanted to take them down after season or not and set them back up in spring. It takes about 22 boot miles to get them all so really considering leaving them out...

    2024 California Bear

    I won’t make it out until Aug 23 to hunt and check other 3 cams but have a few from the one cell cam where there was a bit of service. Pretty excited as it’s my first year bear hunting. That’s a good lookin bear, good luck! No pictures from July/August? Cameras too beat up or bears stop...

    Got my ‘23 bear back today

    Curious how you feel about splitting the white chest patch. Did you end up losing some of it? I've heard of some people going around it and leaving the whole thing on one side.

    Oregon Fall Bear 2024

    I didn't realize Oregon opened this early. I should've made a trip up. Next year I suppose.

    Best Hands Free Rifle Carrier, By Jake Lamphier

    Appreciate it. I ended up going with the Outdoor creative Slik Sling. Also fyi, a link seems to be broken with the first video on the review.

    First Time Mule Deer Hunt - DIY West River South Dakota

    Thousands of huntable acres broken up into various pieces is enough for me to shoot a deer. And a boat is well worth it to me because it’s fun. Not knowing what you’re doing is clearly a risk, but i refuse to make myself responsible for other people’s safety. I don’t much care for nanny states...

    First Time Mule Deer Hunt - DIY West River South Dakota

    I hunt south of the rez and there’s a lot of BLM and that which doesn’t directly abut COE is easily accessible with section lines. And you can still sleep on the boat regardless of the land regs. But I really don’t understand what you’re trying to do here? I simply said it’s rare that you...

    First Time Mule Deer Hunt - DIY West River South Dakota

    That is bizarre. Every boat? Someone needs to teach yall how to tie a knot, I’ve been in marinas after literal hurricanes that still had boats haha to be fair I’ve seen plenty of others’ boats blow away but pretty much always preventable. But I didn’t even recommend this, just said it’s about...
