Here we are placing cream cheese icing on the tree we needed a goody bucket but didnot have one..this is a new bait just placed and now hit in less than a week..

Bear Activity

This tree is along the trail by one of the baits you can see the tree has been stripped of branches and leaves.. Early in spring when we see this it is usually a boar marking it territory but at this time  of year it is usually numerous bears with nothing to do. the gras is pack down like a herd travelling here. trails everywhere… With this sign I know we will be putting many barrels of oats here before hunters arrive. one year in 4 weeks we placed 13 barrels to one bait.. the hunter saw 12 bears one nite.. Make for kind of expensive vitals for bears…

Loaded for a day in the bush
