Who's been hit?

[dakids]

Set up 2 bait sites yesterday and both have been hit.  Only have cameras on one site.  4 different bears.  Sow with 2 cubs and a young boar.  Using candy trail mix, cardinal mix, liquorish, and circus peanuts.  Used 5 gallons of used oil from a Chinese restaurant for on the ground for bears to track into the forest, also 1 gallon of vegetable oil mixed with  4 ground up beaver castor glands that I sprayed up into the trees.  Let the fun begin.

Hopefully the huge, old boar stays away.

We had 2 if our 6 stations hit.  Will be back up next weekend to freshen them up. I was actually quite surprised the bugs weren't all that bad. We could of done without the rain though

It also appears we got the whole area to ourselves.

Oh....so says the football analyst, Mr. Toot sweet....kinda like browsing thru those seed catalogs in February, huh? 🤡

I did end up watching the last 8 minutes or so.

Bears devoured all the bait over night.  We are baiting heavy and hopefully the grease does the trick and brings in more bears.  Hopefully the cinnamon makes an appearance.

Good.lucknjerry!!!

I have the stream machine also! I had no hits on Sunday. Seems to take a little longer for hits up here in our neck of the woods. Going to check them tonight and add more bait. Won't be back for a week after today. I got 3 sites out this past weekend. Good luck boys.

I ran the loop last night and went 0-3. I won't check them again until next Wednesday. So hoping yogi finds the picnic baskets by then. On another note. Funny how the CO is camera shy. With the big rains we had yesterday morning I could tell there were tire tracks heading in and out of my bait sites. So on the last one I swapped the card in the trailcam to see if I got any pictures of him to confirm. Yeah at 2:22pm I got 2 pics of the inside of his hat. At first I thought it was a night pic until I looked at the time. Strange, like I didn't know they checked bear baits. Maybe next year I will go back to the old paper form and make them work to find them.

I'll bet if you were doing everything right you won't see him again. 

[Rebel SS]

Yogi wearing a ranger hat now?

So you need 2 cams there.  One to catch him putting his hat on the other one.  To verify it is him and not someone else peeing on your bait.

Kinda what I am thinking.

My thoughts exactly. I think I would have heard from him by now if I was doing something wrong. I did expect a quick check since this is the first season of using drums on public land in MN. and when I registered them online it asked if a drum was used or not.

[glenn57]

so our first crack at a bear was unsuccessful.

got up there Friday morning. went and checked all the baits and 5 of 6 had been hit. rebaited all but one. I pulled 2, one that wasn't hit and the other was close to a trail with a lot of activity for labor day weekend.

Saturday......only one got hit. after that nuttin.  I have 18 hours sitting in portable ladder stands and boy can I feel it.

One year whilst a friend was hunting at the spot near Hinkley he had to go since his wife was going to have a baby.  She called and said it is close so be home by early afternoon.  (they had 3 kids already so she knew the program)  Even though it is the low percentage time of day he went to the stand at 8 am and was going to sit till noonish.  In walks a nice bear at 9ish and he shot it.  You just never know.
