I think you got a tag, you got a problem, and he will taste good.

No reason to not tag his hind end!

Yep Sam that looks like a good bear. Surprisingly with all the acorns a berries there are a lot of bears being taken. But I know there many bears also.

You can Kill (move a bait site like 100yds ...And usually that changes their nighttime schedule

I pour old grease or syrup from the Old site to the New one
