Yeah, from what ive been told. I found a nice spot where i shouldnt be fighting with other hunters bait sites. I figured if he is comfortable with being around humans, or getting close to them and their homes, i shouldnt have to worry about scent as much, also means he's hungry and looking for food. I am still using scent cover products though just incase. I didnt think the berries would be a problem until you said that, I was hoping it would keep him in the immediate area but now that you mention it, it may keep him off the bait. I was also thinking about doing a "honey burn" ive read alot about, if i dont see any action soon.. any tips on that? Thanks for the info!!
