help with bears

[jacknjo]

Maybe someone out there can help me out. My son has been baiting bears on his own ground; problem is, they're only coming in at night. He's got a good bait sight and motion detector cameras, and he's got at least six different bears coming in. But only at night. Can anyone tell me how to get them to come in during legal hours? Thanks, Jack Anderson

One of these guys (Hounddawg I think) said that he will set out a radio all night and turned it off during the day to condition them to come in during daylight hours.I have never done it , but it makes sense to me!(HunterHarry)

MAKE SURE YOUR PLAYING THE RIGHT MUSIC!!!

KISS,AC/DC,OR SOMETHING LIKE IT,NO,DON'T PLAY ANY OF UNCLE TED'S TUNES THEM BEARS ARE PRETTY WISE TO HIS TYPE OF TUNES!!!

THE MADDEST BEAR I EVER SEEN WAS HAVING TO TOLERATE MUSIC HE DIDN'T REALLY LIKE!!!

Yes I did say that... put a radio in the treestand and play it all night, turn it off by day.

Now here is the disclaimer. I have never tried the baiting thing and I have no idea if that even works. I just heard it second hand.

I'm too impatient to try the baiting thing and sit in a treestand for hours. Only place I can sit for more than an hour is on a barstool, of course I'm always catching game from the barstool so time seems to fly. ;-)

I have no idea if the radio thing will work, but it sure sounds good and wouldn't hurt you to try. Try playing something patriotic, like the Dixie Chicks.

Dixie Chicks! Now we don't want them bears tearing up the guys radio. Maybe something like some of that punk stuff.

kiss and ac/dc couldn't have been better selections, maybe a little guns n roses huh

 

[HoundDawg]

Good hell boys, the idea here is for the radio and music to repel the bears and keep them off the bait during the night!!!

You start playing AC/DC or GNR and the bears will tap a keg, break out the weed and next thing you know Goldilocks will be there doing a striptease and it will be a full on party!!! There won't be an ounce of food left by daybreak when they stagger away from the den of iniquity.

He is trying to keep the bears off the bait!!! I'm thinking Enrique should do the trick just fine. Can you imagine anything, man or beast not completely losing it's appetite listening to that "Would you dance, if I asked you to dance" Hero crap!!!??

Trust me amigo, leave the Back in Black at home and take Enrique or Backstreet Boys with you!!!

damn i love this site. poor feller jest axed a simple question and gets all kindsa BS. this is great. i can just imagine an ol' bruin stealin' the radio and then somebody see him jivin' through the woods with it on his shoulder like a ghetto blaster. bears comin' into bait at night is an old problem. most of the ways to connect are illegal. maybe dr. up the bait with either viagra or valium. they don't travel too far when they're getting fed regular. go back in the area with a varmint call or just still hunt.

Hell, the thing to do is to hit your bait pile at dawn with a pack of dogs! Most places I've been, if they allow baitin then there's also a hound doggin season in full swing. Let's teach them bears a lesson, that there is no such thing as a free lunch!

 

[tico]

any news if this helps, makes sense, but like houndDawg said, give them some of that enrique to keep them of the bait

I wanna thank all you guys for your input. Seasons over and no luck. He had some real nice bears come in at nite, but only a few during the day late. But of course he had to work that day. He's got some great pics from his motion cam. He's got one bear sitting on his rump spread legged and his head buried down beneath them doing the deed I guess. The girl that developes them for him really got a could laugh from that one. Again thanks, I'll try and post a few for ya. Later Jack
