Big Game Hunters, Show Your Stuff

Hope it’s not too late to post my take for the 2022 season. Was fortunate enough to get 2 decent bucks. Took 1 late November and the other early to mid December. Neither one went more than about 60 yards before dropping.

went fill my feeders yesterday and found one of my feeders destroyed.

i had a camera on it, but its lost.

this pic is from a camera set up leading down a trail ....is this a bear or hog?

if its a bear, would be the only one i ever got on cam.

on another note, with the price of corn and fuel, i may throw in the towel on hunting.

I vote bear.
 
I blew my first shot , just got him in the ass . I followed the blood trail
for about 3 miles . I finally caught up with the son of a bitch......he was hiding in a fern patch . I took another shot from about 2ft. , perfect ! Got him right in the heart.
We will all feast when I return home from this wild hunting trip ! This head is definitely going on the wall in my trophy room !

You've got to have some age on you to remember this guy. Saw this article today and went right back there watching the program.

Last year I was in Yellowstone and saw first hand some major stupidity with bison (walking up to a calf, near the herd!). The Madison paper has a scorecard usually reads Bison: 5, Tourists: 0.

I have to agree it's a young black bear, getting into trouble because mom kicked him out and he's hungry. A good sized bear did the same thing to me around the end of May. I'm just shocked nobody caught the date...4/20 lol. Poor little guy had munchies. The bear that got me destroyed the pop up tent frame I was using to hang the feeders from and 2 feeders. Totally my fault for forgetting to bring them in at dusk. Wild boar have ears like this.

They also taste a lot better than any bear I've ever eaten.
