Transcription Summary:
Clay: I hang a lot of trail cameras in national forest and in monitor saddles water holes trails any anywhere that I think there's going to be game movement that's going to give me intel I'll hang I'll hang a trail camera and you know i've been using the cutting back cameras for years and i've had success with them
Brad: And you're hanging those is that any preseason how much pre season prep are you doing with that versus while you're actually out there
Clay: So what I do is I i like to hang cameras at least a month before season and then I'll check them as I scout and hunt so I'll you know I might have multiple cameras in an area spread out and I'll carry with me that's an essential piece of gear an iPhone card reader yeah a little little iPhone SD card reader carry that in my pocket and as I hit these cameras I check check the cards yeah and see what's coming in and it's not usually highly relevant intel but it kind of gives you an idea if there's bears in the area I mean I'm not if I check the camera and there was a bear there that morning I mean that would be like ridiculously good info but since you're not hunting over bait I mean you're just catching these animals at random right in times I mean like so like there might not have been a bear there for two weeks but that wouldn't discourage me necessarily I would just be like okay
Brad: So the bears are wandering and again i've hunted bears a couple times unsuccessfully and I had no idea what I was doing so and but i've had them in southeastern Kentucky i've had them on my cameras a ton so it sounds like they don't maintain a like if I got a whitetail on camera and he's in that area it's like every three days it's almost like clockwork right they're coming through pretty consistently bears don't they don't do that it sounds like it sounds like it's more sporadic
Clay: Bears utilize their home range in a different way than a deer in that bears have a very big home range I mean they might have a 20 square mile to I mean honestly even a 100 square mile home range okay and they're going to utilize that based upon available resource of what they need so if there's certain areas that in the fall for three weeks they might know very much so they're highly they have a incredible food awareness as correlated with location i've learned that from baiting bears bears will show up at a bait the same day every year even before you put out bait like for real like that's crazy you know when you're coming they just have this calendar and then they have locational awareness and there's been some research done on their locational awareness it's incredible but they use the natural food sources just the same there might be a white oak ridge that's highly productive that produces year after year and they're going to go seven miles you know to that area to utilize that resource now he's going to be camped out on that white oak ridge until that resource is gone so if you find that like he's highly predictable does that make sense yeah yeah yeah he's he's going to be living there he's going to be eating there he's going to be leaving scat piles he's going to have trails you're going to think it's a bear zoo yeah but finding that spot is really hard and that's why you you got to cover the ground that's why you've got to just you know because they they it's like they're they would probably be on the OCD spectrum bears if they were humans because they're just like hyper focused on on the food source that they find and think about nothing else yeah where whitetail kind of has this bed feed pattern and maybe he's alfalfa...
