To Bowhunting.net | Bear Hunting Network | 2003 Bear Bowhunt With Fred Lutger Day #2 - The Skunk Bear

Day #2 - The Skunk Bear Chef Klaus (Mike Ditchler) and I checked the 3 baits on our road. They were all hit and we rebaited them. (See baiting pictures #1 and #2.) We returned to Stand #2. Just after 6:00 we heard a bear woofing quietly behind us. The bear came in from our left. (See thumbnails below.) This bear has a blond mane down the middle of it's back and a blonde streak on it's left shoulder. You can see it clearly by clicking on the thumbnails.

The bear went to the far side of the bait and ate some candy. That shot angle was no good. Then it circled the bait and Mike let me get a couple of pictures of the blond markings. Woops ... surprise! The bear walked into the woods.  At 8:10 we saw a bear coming from the direction the earlier bear had exited. I glassed it and told Mike that it had blond hair on it's back. NEXT
