Heat Report post Posted October 4, 2018 Saw 7, maybe 8 bears in one day in Montana last month. This old sow is the biggest black bear I've ever seen! Not from a trail camera, old school point and shoot. About 40 yards away right here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattys281 Report post Posted October 5, 2018 Been a great year for seeing them. Between my buddy & I, I think we saw some where in the 8-10 range between scouting & hunting this year. Saw a lot of cubs this year too, including 2 without their mothers. I already posted the video of one that we saw in scouting, but then opening day of archery deer I had this guy under my treestand: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattys281 Report post Posted October 5, 2018 I'm on the fence. I'd like to try the meat once, and if I don't care for it I won't kill another. I could've killed that little one, but I aint into killing bears that are too small to even make a hand towel out of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It tasted it fine, but the greasiness and fat sealed it for me, I don't need to shoot one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
