Im hunting the same area Ive hunted for over forty years, so I know im in a great area, just for some reason its been really slow getting going. All my baits are hit, but its taken days instead of hours for the bears to find my baits and their not eating much. Theres lots of natural foods in my area though, and theres been very little wind every day to draw bears from any distance.

The wind has definitely been an issue, what little there is has been from one direction for days. The humidity helps, but some baits just sit there. I had a couple that sat for a week, then suddenly they have 3-4 bears on them within a few hours. www.berniesbearcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/user/BowhuntingRoad/about

I do six hunters a week for two weeks. Plus this year I have a friend who is battling cancer who has a tag, I'll take him the second week. www.berniesbearcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/user/BowhuntingRoad/about
