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.
Good luck Fred :tup:

Sounds like you need to get the wife some snow shoes. :tup:
I told her she could make 4 round trips, but for some reason she wasn't having it! :)

They do tend to get an attitude after a few years.

I wish, but it's on private property and he already has a hound guy he lets hunt it. :(

Good that you got some private to run baits! I probably need to do that eventually. Hope you have a great season

Well that sucked, went in to my favorite spot to bait yesterday and someone is already baiting there. Heck they put their bear baiting tag on my ladderstand and screwed their trail camera onto my trail camera mount.😡

At times some people are amazing, talk about not having respect for other hunters! :yike:

So was able to make contact with the guy who put his bear baiting tag on my treestand. Super nice guy who got some misinformation. He was told by a buddy that the site had been abandoned a few years ago. He's working on getting his 15 year old Son a bear. I told him the site was his and I'd be happy to help him keep the bait full since I live pretty close by. Once his boy kills a bear then he and I can coordinate on who hunts the bait site on any given night. I'm meeting him up there today to top up the bait and put a cellular trail camera out. Should be fun!!
Way to turn it into a positive

Bears are hitting one of my baits. Gotta go back in and adjust the camera angle. But at least three bears hitting it. I'll post some photos tonight. One pretty little color phase bear and one decent sized coal black.
That warm spell really brought them out, good luck! :tup:

Do you get alot of color phase bears in your area or are they mainly black?

Bears have such a distinctively sour smell
Post by: bearpaw on May 25, 2023, 05:44:23 AM
I have one bait getting hammered, empty every couple of days. Having trail camera issues, so no good photos. But tonight, he was so close I could smell him, it was overpowering!! Pretty sure he was watching me.
Good luck, hope you get him!
