Setting Up - Contd.

Fred maintains over 5 dozen bait sites. Ladder Stands are a good match for the tall straight trees in Southern Ontario. We use North Starr Treestands ladderstands of several models. They are portable and light weight enough to carry deep into the woods. The ladder sections and seat strap together into a small package so navigating through the thick brush here is no problem. 
Shooting distances are 12 to 15 yards, Fred says, "Most hunters get nervous when they see a bear come in and by keeping the shots close they can still get the arrow in the kill. A bear is a big animal but the vitals are small, comparatively. I want a double lung hit, bears don't bleed well and this is thick country, we don't want to loose the blood trail. With a good double lung hit the bear will only go 30 or 40 yards, a hunter can usually hear a death moan. We want a 100% recovery rate and a good hit helps achieve that." 

Fixed treestands are also part of Fred's treestand arsenal. Fred continues, "I always like back cover, they say that bears do not see well but they really do. If you want to kill a big bear it is more than sitting over a bait. You have to be scent free, watch the wind, be quiet, no noise no movement. It is easy to fool a young bear but a mature bear can get bait shy and if you don't put 100% effort into hunting right it will know you are in the area and avoid you."
