Been putting my time in but the bear is not. Seeing plenty of deer. My "neighbor" who abuts me  had 30+ deer in his field a few days ago.

No hits on our bait yet. Two years ago we had four bears on our bait, now nothing. Hopefully it happens pretty soon, there is only 12 days left in our baiting season.

Bill, I understand NH has only a 3% success rate for archery hunters.

Jerry...that sounds like an old number unless you are keeping it to just bear hunting success.  I now that it was in the single digits for many, many years. But the archery season is 3 months long for deer and for bear, in my WMU, it is 28 days for bear, 3 weeks you can bait but can't start bait until the season starts. NH used to have lots of agriculture but not so much any more. The majority of deer in the state are forest dwellers and in the southern zones they are urbanites and many people in the south do not want hunters in or around their property. It's tough hunting for lots of reasons.
