first day out we got a buck and a doe...hung them at our overflow meat pole closer to the river (cuz it was warm) and about 100feet away from camp...
because of the heavy rain and the noise of the river and the dog snuck into the tent the griz was able to snap the pole (bran new one put up that day) and drag off the doe...
when buddy went to go use the latrine in the morning he yelled out "the deer are gone" (as it was still dark he didn't see the one on the ground (they were both wrapped tight in game bags)..we grabbed the shotgun and a few lights and had a quick look....
saw a pile of green puke with chunks of fat down by the river and decided to lock the buck in the cargo trailer and head out for the morning hunt...
when we got back we did the CSI and found that the bear had come down from the hillside on the FSr side not from across the river..
it had taken the deer about 100 feet from camp, ate half and half buried the rest...we found where he had buried it but he had come back and moved it again (prolly while we were out on our morning hunt).....
when we got back, we had one more deer to hang/skin and after that we followed the bear tracks (with the dogs help) to where it had left the last remains.. We set a trail cam up there...
every night after that he came back to camp...the dog heard him and woke up (doing her job properly) the rest of the time but we put all our meat on the pole only 30 feet from the camp, placed the propane tree with a double mantle lantern burning all night (so we could see to shoot it if it got too close)...we also ran rope all around the area with cans attached and we also tied the step ladder to the hanging meat and put a 5 gal pail on top of the step ladder with cans and rocks in it. there was trail cam footage every night of the bear and then a few minutes into the vid we would hear the dog go off...buddy telling the dog to be quiet and a couple of shotgun blasts....
Good writeup, nice moose and WT's....too bad about the griz taking the doe....try and wrap some of the meat around a can of bear spray next time that'll learn him lol...
