Well out again today, something ate all the bait not in the barrel, maybe a wolf or bear?  no really good sign.

I walked 1 km in each direction with a scent drag and then to the truck where I greased a truck tire and went for a drive on some trails.

Hopefully that will bring them in.  Not too much out yet.

Went out and sat for 2 hours today, no sign at bait yet, but some sign in area.  Tried calling, mock fighting, etc.  nothing! very cool here this week, I put bait out for over three weeks none of it is even rotting or smelling.

DanielB89, only until May 31....very short.  Nothing today again, except a rabbit and some unsuspecting quaders that made a wrong turn.  Sardines and popcorn out tonight, bait is finally starting to smell like it should.

Well nota thing hitting yet, kind of getting depressed but still hopeful only 13 days in the season left.

Seems to be lots of wolves in the area, might be keeping bears away?  

only things on camera is rabbits, racoons and the occasional baiter. lol

COME ON BEARS!

Sounds like you need a new spot ... two buddies of mine just returned from Alberta with two bears each ( shot with stick bows ) and can't stop talking about how many bears they saw ....

Any hunting can get discouraging at times for sure, but you're sticking with it, and I've got a feeling you'll be posting bear pictures any day now.   :thumbsup:  Good luck.

The good news is you now know there is a rather large sow in the area...my understanding is that black bear sows only have cubs every second year...those are surely last years cubs though so she will likely have a couple more next year...try to find a way to identify her next year in case you hunt the same area...the small cubs are not always right with mom and you do not want to shoot her leaving her new cubs motherless...our laws here in Alberta prohibit shooting a sow with cubs but technically you could shoot one when the cubs are not visible...I shot a much smaller dry sow in Northern Alberta in 2012
