Default RE: Can you change a bears feeding time????

Skeeter, I just got home and have 10 more pics on the cam from 2 nights. I did not freshen the loot this time. They hit me again but there is still quite a bit of bread. I put the radio out tonight before I left and hung my sweaty t-shirt in the tree. I am hoping that I can keep them off the bait tonight. If I can I am hoping for a daytime visit tomm. I plan on going in before daylight and turning off the radio and bagging my shirt. I left the trail cam on to see if I had any visits with the radio going and also the t-shirt in the tree. I am going to let the pile get down a little and then take my can in and chain it up. At that point I will limit the amount that I leave. I got a chance to look down over the hill and found several piles of scat and worn trails up the hill to the bait. I now know what direction they are coming in from. There seems to be a matted spot several feet from the bait. I think that the bear might be laying down to let the food settle. If 2 bears are eating a backpack full of bread each night, would it seem to you that they are eating somewhere else also? Or would this indicate that my baitsight has become their primary feeding site? I will respond when I get home from the hunt and let you know my findings. Hopefully I will be posting a pic of a P&Y bruin.
