Thanks for the great ideas guys. I have not yet tried a honey burn but I have been reading on it and it sounds like a great idea. I'll definitely try it as well as baiting early in the mornings without hunting for a few days. It will work perfect for me next week since I am on afternoon shift and can actually get out there early. I was on dayshift for a few weeks and could only get out after work. It makes sense since that was my usual routine all the other years. And Dozen Arrows, I think I will make a sign becausethat is justhilarious. Besides, some of those bears can be pretty smart and you just never know!!! I have had knots carefully untied from my hanging bait to lower it down to a comfortable eating position. Dang smart bears.

Thanks again guys, much appreciated.
