Machias' 2023 Spring Bear Season

[Machias]

Picked up three 55 gallons barrels of Trix cereal, "Trix are for kids, silly bears!"    One 55 gallon drum of assorted cookies and 12 pails of buttercream frosting.  Going to get my baits out next weekend.  I did not run a bait last year due to the bad knees.  Knees are worse this year, but the wife is going to help me and one of my baits is on private property and I will be able to ride the ATV right up to the barrel.  Looks like my Daughter may come up and hunt with me in May and try and get her first bear.

Feast fit for any bear, that's for sure. Good luck this year, hope your daughter gets a nice one.

I must be part bear.
Cause I want to eat out of your barrel.

Glad you are getting out this year.  I will be following along

Following along, hope it "bears" fruit for you!

Health complications and injuries are never fun and definitely a hardship. Try to make the best of it and keep pushing forward. Modifying how you have to do things to still enjoy some time outdoors. Will follow along and can’t wait to hear how your adventures go. Good luck

With no Spring Bear season here this year we will all be living vicariously through you.  Good luck to both you and your daughter!

Got my first bait out last night.  New location, so I don't expect much, if any, activity for a bit.  Going to get bait #2 out tonight and bait #3 out Friday after work.

Can’t wait for more stories from your season! Gawd, I miss baiting! Used to run 50 or more every year in the Okanogan back in 80’s and 90’s! So much fun!!

Ill be up there a few times this spring, if you need a hand filling barrels let me know. I can zip over in SXS in 15 min from house
