I'll look into some more protein based bait and do have a couple different scents I had planned to deploy to change things up. Had a decent bear hit the bait last night, and one came through just a few minutes after what would be opening of shooting light.

Most bear are hit and lost while waiting for the last few minutes of legal light. Get out of your stand and walk out even with a (few minutes) left. I agree 100%. Why even risk trying to get down with a bear there after shooting hours and chase him off. He won't be back.

I’d say she went 167+ conservatively based on how she felt on the 80 yard drag and lift into the truck! A perfect eater in my book! Happy trapping! ScottW

Snowpa trapper Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 3,074 USA MN	Originally Posted by bucksnbears Scott. I'm just saying (overall). Scoped rifle, , bow, open sights. WAY to many push the limits. Been " guilty" myself. Been involved in a couple hundred bear kills and those taken late , end of legal time ...... Most bear hunters hunt in thick cover (baiting). Early season with thick leaf cover is often 10 minutes time to get out and try another day. Heavy cloud cover can knock that back even a few more minutes. Hope that makes sense and hunters will adhere to that advice. A couple hundred . your famous ! Never Confuse Stupid With Crazy
