Congrats Jim Droz, nice buck!

Birdsall Inn, do you hunt right near there? A friend of mine just purchased 110 acres surrounded by thousands of state land acres on all 3 sides, only 2 minutes away. Lots of whitetail/bear land over there..

Nice buck Jim Droz- looks like your buck walked by my Birdsall trail cam, or one of his 3rd cousins ! 

How did your friend make out in Birdsall this season LET EM GROW ? That sounds like a nice size property ! Gotta love the INN !

Not as good of a year as last year. If I remember right I think the daughters took a doe and 1 smaller buck. And a bear. There camp is absolutely loaded with bears. Haven't spoke with them in a few weeks tho.

That is pretty cool LET EM GROW,  I have been up there for 16 years - the Bear population is definitely increasing up there. Out of the 8 of us at our camp 2 of us seen one about 5 years ago, no sighting's in person since then. But I did have about half a dozen on camera this year, the most I have ever had. 

I had the same one on camera about 6 times, so I think a den may be close by. But have never personally seen it.

One of the daughters took a nice 120" 8 pt Friday morning.

They get the same bears nearly every couple of days. and they are not small by any means lol 

[607 HUNTER]

NICE ! Good for her,  seems like they hit the Jackpot on there new property ! 

Did they harvest any bears or no interest in that ? I have actually met a couple locals out there that have seen Bears and never shot them on Gillies Hill, a couple minutes from the INN. They seem to see them some what regularly and just think its to much work.  The property  directly behind the bar had a bear up there so much last year the DEC gave him permission to shoot the bear during the summer, due to him eating his gardens. The owner ended up shooting the bear with rubber bullets a couple different occasions, until he got the hint. 

I am definately in search on my first Bear,I always offer to help with the Bear population on there property. But have had no takes yet lol
