Checked the bait this evening. I pulled the camera card. Just 1 small bear on it so far. A whole herd of racoons and one martin. I hope it picks up a bit.

I have a nice one coming in but he is nocturnal. I sure hope he comes in during shooting hours.

HuntAway,
Good luck on the bear hunting. The bear in the trailcam picture appears to be a dandy one. I am not gonna get to go bear hunting until October if I a up to it. I will be headed to east Tennessee for the opening weekend; however, we will be using dogs. I mat take my smoke pole and take my 450 Marlin as my backup. This will definitely be a challenge for because I have trouble walking. I use to run a program for the wounded Soldiers at Ft Campbell called HOOAH which stands for Healing Outside Of A Hospital. It was used to enable disabled Soldiers like me. It should be a blast. Anyway good luck bear hunting.

Good luck and thank you for your service to your country!! I truly hope that you will be well enough to get after them!

I served 20 years in the Canadian Army.

Some say tomato some say tomata.

All hunting is done over a bait of some sort. Whether that be sitting on the edge of a corn or soya bean field. Up high on an oak ridge. Staged by a water source. Or catching them on their way to and fro. Or maybe using a call or scents to get their hormone's flowing.

I'm just busting on you, but I can't agree with this.
