    Default Bear smell

    Went for a flash bear hunt.Up above French River.
    Tried calling and smoke scents,visited the oak flats from the spring.

    Once,20 min after calling as dying rabbit,i went to take care of nature's call.
    Walked away from the spot 100 m.I was in a bit of a clearing-sort of.
    When turned back towards the spot ,i smelled a very strong skunky smell.Really close-like 30 m or so.
    Full foliage is up-can not see a thing.

    Waited-could be a bear?Coming to the call-and noticing me?
    Then few minutes passed with no smell.

    Then again,the smell was there ,a bit less strong....
    Could that be a bear ?Or other then the obvious-skunk....(do not belive weed smokers were trampling in the area)

    Sasquatch or Chupacabra. Seriously though none of the bears I have killed had any type of strong smell.

    If it wasn’t a skunk, could be a Bear or some other animal that got sprayed by a skunk?

    Bears do not smell skunky having skinned many of them. They smell identical to a wet dog that hasn't been bathed in weeks. Not a pleasant smell, but not skunky. As for hunting bears french river, I wouldn't bother with calls. You want to just place bait and be as quiet as possible.
