OK, I am ready for any bets. We are going back to Hyde County NC this weekend and the next (extended weekends) for the last season of black bear hunting. Now thus far I have been skunked for two years, seeing only the smallest ethically shootable bear in the whole county last month. 80 lbs. probably and no I did not give it a thought to take it. So, I am setting up this poll to see what everybody thinks just for the fun of it. Comments, serious and of course funny are welcome, as well as any poking fun at me. I invited pyro6999, but he is tied up. Maybe next year.

If the bear doesn't pan out the squirrel sounds good - tasty eating!

I hope you see a good one, stay awake in the stand and make a good shot. I'm so jaded with where I live that I never give bear hunting much of a thought. I view them as nusiences as they like to mess with our deer cams and tear up anything that smells like food left in the woods. Left my knapsack hanging one year with some peanutbutter crackers inside....big bummer...tore my new backpack to heck and drug it quite a ways up thru the woods. I've also lost one camtracker to an angry sow that got an eyefull of flash at a couple feet.......

I have faith in ya, D, so I actually voted that you'd shoot a decent bear.
... only because the poll wouldn't allow me to make multiple selections!

dolphin, if the bear don't work out, I hear that there's a pretty good blackfin run right now. I'll let you shoot one on the gaff with that 300 if you want!

Sure, I set it up so you can vote as many times as you want. You know that is what is going to happen.

Thanks Ted. You know, when I set it up, I did so to let it make multiple selections, but did it on the edit function. Maybe that is why it does not work. Oh well. I have two weekends to get one. We only get one tag, so I am going to make the best of it. I may take either my 17 hmr or mach 2 to the stand, so when light is almost gone and I am sure that a bear is not going to show, I can shoot some squirrels and not waste 2.5 bucks a bullet shooting at squirrels. lol.

Are you hunting over bait? Up here the really big old smart ones usually come in just as the last minutes of shooting light are waning.
