Ok so we got one bear comin into the stand and hes comin in round 3 am now. I know its cause hes well fed and found a dependable food source. So me workin 6 ten hour days im wonderin how to go bout this matter. I have a 45/70 guide gun with ghost ring sights I am pretty sure I can get a.kill shot off early mornin if its clear out. Or I can lighten up on the bait and try and "train" him to come in at more reasonable hours. Goin halibut fishin next sunday so should I suffer a night and take em at night or try and retrain the guy for two weeks from now?

Grab a thermos of coffee and sit in the stand from midnight until 6 AM. I have sat in the stand plenty of times in the middle of the night. I shot one about 5 years ago about 3 AM. There is no law against it, so I see no reason not to. If that is when he is coming than that is when you should be on stand. Make sure you have a safety harness just in case you fall asleep. Good luck.

Bears are funny. We had one that was a morning bear, about 8am it would show up! It never appeared in the evening! My stands are done for the year. Had a couple of friends hunt them this weekend and got a nice cinnamon and then decided that they would educate a couple of others buy "shooting" at them and scaring them off.
