Steuben Jerry Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Pulled a few cards last weekend. Haven't been through them all and still have a few more to swap, but got this bear about 30 yds from one of my pop-up blinds. It's a poor exposure, but looks to be a good sized one, presumably male? It was the second to last day of turkey season. I was at work that day, and I admittedly would have experienced the pucker factor if I was sitting in the blind at the time. The time is correct, so I would have probably just gotten settled in if I was out. Hope to see him in the Fall when I have a bit more than turkey loads in the gun! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steuben Jerry Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Come on over for a beer and sit on my deck. That's our chicken coop and those are second year cubs. Had to shoo them away. Pic is a few years old now, but we see them semi-regularly (except for bear season of course). And people ask why I built the run out of chain link fence - works well! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some time ask me about a mature whitetail compared to a mature spring gobbler. Any old fool can stumble into (or the buck can stumble into you!) a big buck. Not so much with a old gobbler IN THE WOODS; NO BLIND OR DEKE!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
