A buddy of mine is going to get our baits started in the next couple weeks as long as he can get in where we want to be.

Awesome, looks like you actually found a flat spot!!! Good luck, please share all the little details, I'll be living vicariously through your hunt this year.
I did, not easy around there. Its a perfect spot a think, was hopen to be closer to bottom. But with rules 200 is as close as I could get. It's a ridge line with thick brush by barrel, making them feel comfortable comeing in. With a creek on both sides . Thanks for all your advice and help

That's awesome! I finally got mine out yesterday. What a lot of work it is. I forgot since I didn't do it last year... Hope your able to get a nice one!!
I keep thinking I will do a bait one of these years but when I think about money and time invested besides the work packing it all in and weigh those factors versus the success I've had spot and stalk I always decide against it. Good luck to you guys though and maybe one of these years.

Game time now! When are you going back? Can't wait to see what you have coming in. Do you have a camera on this bait site?
I'll be up there 13-22nd. Sit the bait , spot and stock and a little fishn maybe.
I didn't have cam up, but now I do

It rained good Sunday so we just sat around trailer since she was going home that day. Saw a moose and her calf walk right through camp, that was wife's first moose experience . She went home and I sat the blind, saw nothing but Ravens and squarels.
Monday I explored. Having never been there before really, I did a lot of walking. There wasn't much for clear cuts in that area for sure. Saw turkeys and elk and deer. Also one bear
Tuesday I went fishing, didn't catch anything but enjoyed it. Then sat blind, had this bear come in again. I just felt there was a bigger one out there due to his reactions.
Wednesday I had to move trailer cause cause of all the rain, not sure I would make it out. Sat blind , saw bear again but held out.
Thursday it raind all night with lightning and thunder and half of the morning. Went to town for breakfast then went and sat blind ( most days I sat from 2-8:30) . Around 7: the same bear from most evenings came in. I watched him for a good while, I knew he wasn't the bigger bear comeing in but the big one wasn't showing himself. So once I decided to take him, darn guy made it impossible to get a shot for like 20 min. Then he walks away with no clean shot opportunity. "Oh well" I said, then he comes back right at last minute. I shoot , he spins and darts right. I hear what I think it is him fallen but wasn't sure. I gave him 40 min, then went over. Lots of blood, followed it for 50yds. He walked over a few good size logs so then called it, thinkn if he could walk over then instead of under he's in better shape then I hoped, I didn't want to push him. Slept like crap, got up and went in. Found him 20 yds from where I had stopped lol. Skined him out and packed out barrels and blind.
Was a good trip. Learned a lot for next year. Heard turkeys every morning and elk every day. A few wolf tracks . Now I have to clean my truck and trailer before out fishing trip to coast this next weekend.
Thanks all for your advice. I love Idaho , I need to move I think. I'm hoping to make it back next month to hunt with another forum member .
