RE: Bear season, better late than never!!
I have much better luck putting out about 50lbs at a time.I set out the baits at between 5pm and 6pm and according to the trailtimers,the bears hit as soon as 15 minutes after I leave the bait.Having smaller amounts of bait forces the bears to appearsooner or get no bait.With too much bait,they often wait until dark because they know that there will still be bait for them.I restock baits every day and after a few days the bears become quite punctual.
