WTH are these guys doing?

[scoyoc5]

Got up to my hunting spot today eager to check my game cam...Couple pics of a nice looking bear. And these to jokers in the woods @2:40am? the time and date are correct. It would take at least 45mins to an 1hour hike to get where my cam is. My guess is that they are up to no good.Can anyone tell what the second guy is carrying? Looks like a hoof to me.

You've got a couple Mushroom pickers working your area...it's chantrelle time.

[WDFW-SUX]

There setting bear bait.

[coonhound]

Where's the bear pics?

[haugenna]

Bear bait or they are putting in a stash.

[scoyoc5]

coonhound mushroom pickin at 3am? 

[WDFW-SUX]

Yeah, there baiting that bear is well fed.

[Austrian Hunter]

Mushroom pickers!
 if they were up to no good I think your camera would be either gone or broke, the flash would have given away the cameras location.   

[scoyoc5]

I think you are right.. if they were up to no good theres noway they would have left my cam. I still dont understand the time

[Austrian Hunter]

They can bring out 30 - 50 pounds of chanterelle mushrooms, we pay $20 -$25 per pound for them.  Big $$$$$  some of them hike all night.   

[WDFW-SUX]

There dropping bait and picking dope!

[scoyoc5]

It too hard to tell what hes carrying when I blow the pic up the quality goes to hell. I forgot this last pic..
