Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Alberta Spring Black Bear Hunt

Juvenile color phase bear photographed the same night as the big chevron bear succumbed to my 250-gr bullet. I watched this little guy working the bait for a good 30 minutes, and when he sauntered off he seemed so pleased with himself I swear he should have been whistling, or perhaps humming a Pooh-bear hum...



Barry works the quad up a submerged trail to get to the bait stand. The bottoms of these submerged areas are solid ice, which doesn't thaw out until July. The muskeg I walked over as described in the OP is immediately to the right of this photo.



This is the tree stand I shot the big black boar from. It's also the tree that the juvenile black bear scampered up behind me the night before.
