Good bears showing up at bait sites

[suburbanirma]

I've been baiting bears for a few weeks now in preparation for my upcoming hunt with my recurve bow. Bears have been hitting the buffet spread of cookies, popcorn, windfall apples and pastry frosting. I set up a couple of trail cams to monitor what is hitting the baits and when. Hope to have a story to share in the Winter 2017 issue of TradArchers' World magazine.

I am glad SOMEONE is getting bear to come in to their bait site. I had two bear come in to deer feed before legal bear baiting season. Haven't seen a bear on camera since...

Hunting begins Monday.

Good luck!

Nice bears Tom and good luck! My son has 40 acres north of Rhinelander. His neighbor is baiting and has 5 different bears coming in!

You've got some history with that bait site, Tom.  Good luck!

[suburbanirma]

Yes, Gary, one site has quite a history, while the other new one is near my house in the county forest. Both have pretty nice bears visiting throughout the day.

[Greg Szalewski]

Good luck Tom. I hope you get one of those that gave me and Bryan the slip.

[Fletcher]

Good luck, Tom!  Those are good looking bears.

My son and I will be baiting next week for our U.P of Michigan hunt.  Have a time of it finding sweats to bait with. Michigan banned chocolate this year.

[Kromer]

Always a good feeling seeing em show up with shooting light left! Couple no-doubters in that bunch as well, I'd say you're in for a good sit here shortly.

Checked camera on public land site. Showed a couple of small bears and a good one, too. Time stamp is 12 hours off.

Less than a week and a half until I can begin my bear hunt. I have some nice bears showing up in daylight at both of my bait sites. One site is in a nasty, soggy spruce swamp and I am considering using a game tracker, as blood trailing there might be tough. Any thoughts?
