Seems like there are some good bear numbers around your baits - awesome for you guys!

The whole log thing is new to me - the guys I hunted with bait bears in ME using plastic 55-gallon drums. How do you process the logs? Cut to length and hollow it out with a chain saw?

Are you both gonna trophy hunt this year?

I walked around in a freinds woods and found a hallowed tree that was down. Cut that into sections.

She going to kill the first bear that comes in

Im going after a big one


Checked cams today...LOOKING GOOD :o

the last bait is the best one I think. bears are in all times off the day and the quality of bears is amazing..I think well kill here for sure
last Sunday after I baited it only took 2 hours for the first bear to come in :shock: 8-)

BigHunt
I'm thinking if you have good action like you have this close to the season you'll be dragging one out soon!

Do you have reinforcements for the job or are you planning on skinning, quartering, and sledding out in trips?

You got a good women there to follow you through the woods and swamps like that. Great stuff for you guys to share together!
Hope both of you get a good one!
