misfish Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Was invited by RyanMc, to help set up for this fall bear hunt,and in return for helping,I was shown a back lake bass spot. Hunting and fishing,cant beat that. What a nice peice of land this was. Drive for miles,many roads going all over in many directions. GPS is a must here. We decided to play first,then set up the bear area later. At our parking spot,I came across a turtle hatch. It couldnt of been more then a few days old. Then we seen a pile of bear skat. Lots of fur in it. Looked like deer hair. Got an hour of fishing in. We just fished from shore. Will bring the tube and canoe next time. Bass were hungry . Senkos and slammers. Play time was over. Time to pick a spot to set up the bait. Looking for a high ridge close to a swamp was the plan. That way,the bear could be dragged down hill with ease. LOL Lots of moose tracks and this one was big.Get all the gear up the hill and get started trimming a shooting lane. Saw down a tree to put some logs around the barrel. Set up the bait barrel,load it up and get it ready for action. Took a short video. I guess the climbing up the hill didnt allow the camera to focus properly.

Rod Caster Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I was cutting/flattening some hunting lanes today too! Looks like a nice spot out there, especially with bass fishing from shore like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 See any grouse? Not a one Rob. We were very surprised. Ryan was saying theres been little sightings this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I think the numbers are/were expected to be more in the middle of the cycle but I haven't been seeing too many either. I am all wound up to get back at it after too many years away. May have to go father north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June was brutal on them. Still you never know , foilage is so thick most birds would be invisible untill flushed . I'll have a better feel for what's going on around us once I can run my GSP in the woods again, still the risk of him disturbing chicks and every other animals new offspring .
