Here is picture from sauk county earlier this summer
Might not have to wait 10 plus years to hunt up north
In the near future

Nice pics
I'll add some pics over the next couple of weeks- relocated my camera after the last straight-line windstorm. It opens on dogs this year and I know a lot of dog hunters like to use cookie dough for bait because the bears seem to bed closer to the bait station- fill-up and lay down. I'm going to hunt over trail mix but I plan to use cookie dough the week before- the inverse strategy of trying to keep the bear closer to my remote site.

Eagleye-

Just wanted to wish you an early "Good luck" and "Have a great hunt!". I have hunted over dogs and have hunted over bait. My wife, son, and I have taken...and eaten...some nice bears. My son killed a 419 lb. up near Barnes in 2002.

Great times and great food!

The Boy could wrassle one of those to submission!

Moosie appreciate that!
419 is a nice bear- we enjoy having bear meat in the freezer. With the bear opener 3-days before whitetail archery season,,, I've already resolved myself to the fact that I'll be watching a nice buck cruise by sometime between Wednesday and Friday

Do you have hunters in both Zones?
What do you use the crucifix tree for- hang goodies on it or ?
