[rasbo]

Good luck, spoke with a guy in salmon Idaho yesterday,put his bait out and had a sow and cub in that late evening on his cam

[nwwanderer]

Sow with twins out several miles west of you last week, it is time

[Naches Sportsman]

Go get em!

Buddy shot one last night down here in 1L after we got done planting!

[Machias]

Ok, two baits are in.  The second bait had a huge pile of very fresh bear poop waiting about 3 feet in front of the ladder stand.    Feels good to finally get the baits out.

I couldnt find a pile of bear crap in idaho to save my life the last few days.  Unit 1 seems a couple weeks behind ne wa.  Did find a couple killer areas though, and ill be hunting them come roughly may 23rd.  Should have the last week of may and the first 2 weeks of june off to chase idaho bears

Seven hours, that's the fastest I've had one find my bait.

They are definitely moving now! Saw 2 sow/cub pairs today!

Hope to see what you harvest shortly!

Curious how big the hole is? I've got access to barrels with lids with band locks. If you need more barrels shoot me a PM.

[Machias]

5 inches, I think.  What type of lids are they?  Do they bolt on or do they latch?  I would love to find a couple of the latching type lids.  I hate having to screw on and unscrew the ring that secures the lid.

[Machias]

Boom, both baits hit the first night.
