Boar Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hate? such a vile word, You know you love it. I finaaly lessoned the work by strappin buckets to a game cart for the mile round trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkbait Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Checked mine after work yesterday. One picanic basket was found. Only hit one night though. Will check it again today on the way home. I think this might actaully be the bear we seen the one morning on our way to work a week or 2 ago. Having trouble guessing the size. Some pictures look decent size, others seems like it is smaller.

Archerysniper Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Add me to the list. The brother in law just checked mine and said my barrel is tipped over and almost empty. I know it's not coons because the barrel had 150# of bait and a huge rock to hold it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Breuer Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Only pulled SD cards on one station, as I keep forgetting more cards. I couldn't take it any longer at the one site, and uploaded the pics today... Figured it was a big boy, but it was jus tmultiple bears. Always a nice surprise, as they all look tasty...

jerkbait Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Checked the one that got hit and no return, just a one hit wonder I guess. I did darn near get hit by a skunk though. I was moving some logs off of the pile because I could see where the skunks had dug under and wanted to check to see how much bait was left. Well as I was moving the logs I started to here a thumping sound and then I seen the flash under the logs. Holy carp! it was about 6 inches away. Threw the logs back on the pile and away I went. Good thing it couldn't lift its tail or I would have been wearing a new colone today. Hopefully it is gone tomorrow when I check them again. Come on Green Death, do your thing!!!

B-man715 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Great stuff guys! Keep it coming! Here is a video of the critter who found one of my baits. This is from last night at about 6:20. Looks to be a nice 60 pounder My other bait is still cold, but it is in a great spot Shouldn't be long!! Man, I can hardly wait to send an arrow through one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
certified jumbo Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Just got back from our second trip baiting. We ended up going 6 for 7 being hit. 5 of those are being hit in daylight. There are about 15 different bears coming in so far. One sow has 3 cubs, otherwise the rest are all coming in alone. Looks like we have 3 that are decent size. They really hit the baits hard and cleaned up everything. There are no acorns and the berries are thin this year. I think that is helping us. A long ways to go yet, but its a good start. We all know things can change fast, so we're not getting to excited yet. Here's a little taste..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HooknHorns Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 WOW are you sure those are MN bears. Id give my left acorn for a shot at one of those big boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
