Set out two bear baits nearly 10 days ago. Been checking them every three days and finally both barrels got hit. This little one came in once two days ago for about 2 hours. Didn't eat much but tore down my sign and flipped over my ground blind. Hasn't come back again. This bear came in at 3:30 this morning and dug around getting all the goodies on the ground, but never went after the goodies in the barrel. Decided to take a nap in front of the barrel. Unfortunately, I bumped him off the bait (notice ears back) I was coming in behind him and was on site less than a couple minutes later as the camera is set to take pictures every five minutes and it didn't get me. This bear appeared to be a bit bigger than the other and had only come in this once. I hope because he camped out he liked it. I am not sure why he never looked in the barrel. Do you think he will come back?

First site went dead. I wonder if when he was messing with my blind it collapsed and scared him. Second site bear came back within 8 hours of me bumping him off the bait. He hung around through the night and then came back again late the next evening. I went in early afternoon on May 28th to refill bait and check SD cards. I saw the barrel empty and new something had come around. As I was going through the card I noticed this monster showed up in the night and cleaned up the bait. He stayed until a little after 11am. After seeing near constant action at the site I decided to stay and hunt for a few hours. More coming soon!
