Whether they're black or grizzly, they must be pretty fearsome to turn all those trees pale.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
Here's a good bear pic from two weeks ago to give y'all some perspective. My buddy takes dead livestock from neighbors, puts it out in a field and shoots coyotes off it. This was a full grown quarter horse. Obviously some of it is gone, but still gives you some good perspective. We have some BIG bears around there.

We are beginning to hear of black bears moving into Indiana. I hope to live long enough to see a bear on my place. I did see a bobcat a few years back, but recovery is slow. It is funny that New Jersey has more bear than Indiana.
Here are some highlights from my backyard lol! I have a Moultrie 888i setup 50' from my back door. we have a thickly wooded back lot with 2 natural springs, tons of browse, hindge cut trees and downfalls, 3 huge thickets that hold rabbits (I have fox visit nightly), and all kinds of other good stuff. I have a salt block year round, put out feed in september, apples and veggies here and there. Our small subdivision is surrounded by almost 2000 acres of untouched Mississippi river bluff forest, 2 ponds, countless springs and creeks and a few ag fields here and there.
This Summer my mother in law saw this guy by our carport on the driveway. She hollered for me and I came running, but was too slow to see him. Got him on camera about 40 yards behind our tool shed. He is a BIG tom! Not scared of anything. He was strolling around while we were running the backhoe and the skid steer.

Nice! It is definitely fun to watch them grow! Not sure if you are doing any food plots or anything. If you are look into some stuff called Sainfoin. I would make a large bet that there is NOTHING deer like more. You just need to have your PH right.

Cool thx for the tip I'll check it out. I also really like Imperial Winter Clover that works well for us...
RC
RC we used clover for years and years and I still use it. Over the last two years we have had two acres of Sainfoin planted next to two acres of clover. The two plots are only separated by a dirt "road". The clover may as well not even be there. Some days there will be 20+ deer in the Sainfoin and ZERO in the clover. It is crazy! You can read all kinds of similar reports online, but I wanted to see it with my own eyes.
