thanks to the sugestions from skeetter +hiawatha and the others we where able to change there nighttime habbits either trhat or more bears have found the baits i stopped using the crib and the barrel we chained to a tree made the hole smaller so they get less food for there work we had a small black about 8.45 last evening so there starting to come around in shooting light like i said before we have three bait sites and all have been hit two just once i figure by cruisers . this has deffintely cut back on the amount of food there getting less trips to the barrels for us. we had a exceptionley warm spring so there out early .lots of sign around
good luck to you hope thers bear meat in the frezzer soon
