Do you usually see a bear every year?
Yes, I see 2-3 on a typical night
Do you usually get a bear every year?
Yes, and normally have several opportunities
Do you have a problem with night hitting bear?
Nope, we have developed methods to turn their feeding schedules. We normally can get the big bears to switch their feeding times.
Do your baits pick up or slow down after the bear season opens and progresses?
The baits will peak between the 10th and 15th day on a typical set up. Though after the 15th day or so the traffic will start to slow a tad bit, after that date will put us into the rut and who knows what will show up then as the tankers are on the hunt for hot sows.
Are there lots of other hunters In the area?
There are a few, but with caution and a good hard sweat, we can normally hunt undetected. I have found that with the way that we hunt, even if hounds run the bait on you, there is still a chance at recovering. I did it this year and played my cards right and ended up with a decent boar.
What state are you hunting In?
Idaho-where black bears are normaly not black!
