I spend 2.5 months every hunting bears over established baits....I have found that the big boars are at the baits in daylight the first week in May, when they are hungry...then the last 2 weeks in June, when they are in rut....not much luck in between...we have found to that the bears use the baits as much at dawn as dusk....I have a website full of trail cam pics from our baits..and many of them are night shots, most of the big ones...click this link..then go to trail cam section to see hundreds more pics...
