Good to hear GMMAT. I've always appreciated your posts and thought that this was going in the wrong direction. Honestly up here you have to bait bear. I baited for the first time this yr and had 6 different bear hitting it. Some hit on a regular basis and some didn't. Most were young. If you want a mature bear you need to bait for yrs....... or just set up and get lucky. Schultzy and I have trading info on it. Honestly he knows more than me....... I have alot to learn about bear. But I'm learning everyday that my bait is allowed to be out.
AsMOST guys will notice hunting deer on private land and public will be black and white. Its a different hunt altogether. They are different creatures....... from what I have noticed deer have a home range and bear don't.
