Warm weather gets them moving, they don't move much when the weather is cold, windy or rainy.

Here I find the trick to having them eat during the day is to have your kids store bags of wheat in an outbuilding. Eventually they値l bust the door jam and come back every night. Then you and your kids be away, leaving your wife at home alone and unwilling to shoot a problem bear. Then he値l come in and she will send you a snap. grin

That always seems to work for me anyways.

That about sums it up!! You can also try sitting for 2-3 evenings and then take a night off for "meet the teacher night", usually guaranteed to be out during daylight.

If you're looking for tricks I'm afraid there aren't any. I hate say it but the main reason people have nocturnal bears in the first place is the location. Best to keep them from going nocturnal in the first place. Some other reasons explained in the videos below.

Are you actually spying on me? I received one of those snaps at meet the teacher night. Are you telling me the same thing happened to you? Lol

I believe that the main reason they went to night feeding is because of the dog hunters that ran the property, ever since they have been coming at night, thanks Bernie for your thoughts, I agree with most of them, I'm by a swamp creek,
