My shoe print from yesterday is 13" exactly. I was making big batch of rotten cover scent which was just about ready to be fixed and bottled. This dude got into it and ate it all this morning.

Looks like you came up with a good recipe, do you mind sharing it?

A fish/shellfish recipe and brewed in a bag. This was 2 ~15 lb yellowtail in a clear bag sprinkled with a couple ground raw shrimp. I let it rank in partial sun for 7-8 days until the skeletons fell apart. Brown paste and disjointed bones. The bear ate it before I could add 1/2 cup propylene glycol.
Cut corner of bag and squeeze it down like a pastry funnel to fill jars.

We used to mix up a concoction of stink bait to open our bear baits in the spring. Put some chickens ands whatever else that might smell bad in a gallon bucket and let it ripen for a week or so in the sun. I usually have a pretty tough stomach for bad odors, but that makes me a little quezzy just thinking about it.

1:28 a.m. this morning, when I flipped on the porch light, there he was, about 10 feet away. ~375+ and light brown, almost mocha-colored. This is one big bear. The light didn't bother him, but he spooked and ran off from the noise when I closed the sliding door. That's three times in 10 days. I thought about taking his picture, but figured I would be pressing my luck.

That seems like a nice bear in your part of the world.

I'm going to say this one is worth pulling the trigger if he's around when the season opens. I'd rather my daughter shot him. But consider what else is lurking in SoCal where the weather is too warm to hibernate. In the last decade these were run with hounds and shot - 8 years ago, a potential #1 B&C shot at Lake Hughes that was disputed because the guide shot the bear (I helped skin this one) - 10 years ago, Dan Fox hunting with Joel Shows in Cherry Valley, estimated weight 900 lbs (this one is on video charging the hunters) - and three years ago near Kennedy Meadows, a ~700 lb bear that earned the two hunters a cite for not removing the meat (I can probably get a picture of the half mount). SoCal holds some monsters. So a ~375 is good, but not that good.

Are all the bear around there mixed colors or are the majority black? we dont have any bears here in Ohio,
well a few have been spotted but you are not allowed to hunt/shoot them,,im 45 so i doubt that i will ever see a huntable population but i was just wondering about the color phases
Thank you
Bob
