Was wondering if I could get some responses from others reguarding brown bears in your bait station. I have been baiting blackies in the same spot on and off over the last 8 years or so and have had good success, always get different bears in and we have taken some good ones off of our site. the entire 8 yrs or so I have used this area, I have only had 4 browns come in while I was in the tree. Last nite we had a great black come in, but one of the people who is hunting with me, and trying to get one with his bow, couldnt make it out, so we let him go, in hopes he comes back for the arrow. Tonite we were set up, the bow hunter was there, and we were hopeing for the big black to reappear, but instead we had what appeared to be a sub adult brownie come in. I havent been around browns much in the wild other than these 4 times, but every other time I have had one come in, they quickly left never to be seen again, but this guy was different, he was pissed, he bluff charged and left, circled around and came back even more pissed and gave us a pretty bad time. He would drop his head and slowly move it side to side walking toward the tree growling and snorting etc, We eventually started woofing at him, and finally had to start yelling at him, to get him to leave, so we could leave, this all went on for quite some tiime, he didnt seem to be scared of us at all and im not convinced he went very far, I think just beyond the tree line into the brush. It was a pretty spooky walk for the first part out. Normally they just do thier business and go, but this guy was a lot more agressive and was looking for a fight.
Was just wondering if others have dealt with browns doing the same thing, and how you handle it. Let the bait empty for a few days in hopes he moves on? not worry about it and keep hunting? I will admit hes got me a little spooked just didnt seem to act "normal" if there is such a thing. Definitely dont want to meet this guy on the trail back in Hopefully we dont see him again. Dont worry I wouldnt shoot him uless I had no other alternative
Any advice?
