Goldseeker5000 Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 The day before yesterday I found out the bear was a juvenile grizzly. I gave a training to a guy who is a very experienced hunter and tracker and he found some tracks by the wall of the tent that were a smaller grizzly. He described the direction it came in to the tent and how it wheeled around and took off. I said that is exactly what I recall what happened. Amazing he was able to describe the scenario from the tracks. He said knowing it was a griz, you really should get an electric fence. He also said the shots you fired off from your gun will bring grizzlies in unlike blacks. He said if a griz comes into your camp, they will get more and more bold to keep doing it. Got 10 nuggets yesterday at the Utopia claim we are working. Not as good of gold as Smaug's Gold but gold none the less. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Reese, fun thread with lots of gold, nicely done. Have you heard of bear boards? They used them up in Alaska--cut strips of plywood and use a nail gun to stud the strips with lots of nails, place the bear boards around anywhere you don't want the bear to go. Electric fences can work too. All the best, and keep up the fun, Lanny 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work great, but have to make sure and paint them bright orange so if somebody accidentally comes through they are visible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldseeker5000 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 I got only 1 nugget today, but it was a nice one. 2.7 grams. Oh yah, I also knelt in fresh cow sh_t twice today digging targets. ??. Ended up getting it all over my knee pads, my pants, my pick, my detector and my hands. I was very pissed at these cows. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradiceau Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Good job Reese! Tell those cows to moove out. Or, maybe they are marking location for you and you best stay on their good side.......? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
