Bummer for sure. Hope you heal up fast.


You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

They are always nourished during the winter months and just live off there fat reserves. I am sure they are hunkered down somewhere if not in there winter hiding place. This weekend with the temps in the 50s and snow melting some will venture out and get in trouble at the neighbors bird feeders lol. As soon as this snow melts and is about gone NWO will place some baits out there to try and get some pictures of bears in the snow....how cool would that be.

I'm guessing these next few days would be a great time to locate their winter dens??????

I've never tried that.

Little update....still not back to work...I think the weather was stalling for me to get back in the woods, I am walking without crutches, do use a cane once in awhile, going through PT. Wont be long before I can venture out but will be another two months before I can really put on some miles with the foot. Little bird told me bears are already checking out the bait stations :D Image

Finally out in the big woods of Northern Bayfield County, man does it feel good, foot is sore but holding up good, put on a heavier boot today for support. Tomorrow, Robert and I are setting up two bait stations with cameras, very excited, then we are off to scout out more private property we just acquired for bears. :dance: :dance: :dance:
