How do you measure trying, you do, or you don’t.

I spent the weekend rebaiting our sites and made a couple more baits. We have two getting hit pretty regularly.

Thought I would give a quick update. So far this year I've had 9 different bears on the two baits, that is counting the sow with the 3 cubs. Nothing of any size that hadn't already rubbed badly has hit my baits this year. Probably going to shift focus east to some of the higher elevations and trying calling one in. Going to pull one bait this week and keep the other one going until the 15th.

Its always a lot of fun even if you don't get a big one. That blonde yearling will sure be a nice one someday. Good luck calling, hope you find the big one!

Later this week I'll post some photos of the last week or so. 4 bears hitting one bait. I let a friend sit in the stand last week and sadly he missed his first bear. But it showed back up last night. Got the pretty sow that I posted photos of up above with the three cubs, hitting the bait. She has kicked the cubs to the curb and is all alone. One mid-sized bear, one young bear and one really nice big boy.
