Thanks Guys!
You KNOW I will keep you informed how things go!
I can report that I am working two baits and although I wouldn't bet the farm, I'm sure I have mutliple bears coming in. Since my original post on this subject I have cut down to 1/2 of a 5 gal. pail per bait. Out of the two the latest time I am have a hit was 8:30PM (dusk)and that was after a 6PM bait - all the rest were between 4PM and 7PM. My season opens Sun. and I am really getting pumped.
Thanks again for your ideas and support!
