ive been running my bait since the season opened, and it started getting hit last weeek i hunted friday and saturday afternoons and had a nice chocolate/cinnamon bear come in saturday around 6 pm. he was walking in straight to the bait then just stopped, looked 90 degrees to his right (our left) for a few seconds and then turned and took off. 

huntnnw was there filming. the first pic is off huntnnws vid cam and the others are trail cam pics.
hopefully i can make it happen next weekend!

there are 4-5 different bears hitting this bait

hey... I wasn't the only one a little gassy in the blind!   
besides I thought bears like smelly things...

I have been using a bit of anything and everything... the normal bread syrup jello oil... etc. I also hung a game bag of fat bacon meat in the tree. That the near is climbing up to.
Anything smelly...

Well that is everything I am using also so looks like I am just in a crappy spot.  I might need to move locations if nothing hits it this week..

Hey coop. What is the elevation at your site? I am pretty low. Are you in an area open past may 15? I hope your bait gets hit!

I am not very high I would say about 3000-3200ft and no I am in unit 2 which closes the 15.    I am basically on the top of the Mtn but in darker timber and there is a clearcut about 100 yards to the left and below it that are facing south.  There is also water in the middle of the clearcut.  I am thinking if I don't have anything hit it by this weekend I will probably move it.  Good luck to you guys and I hope the next pictures are with a down bear..

I have a bait 1.5 miles north of his and nothing has touched it...hope this week
