Bear Baits


Recommended Posts

Question for those of you that have more experience in baiting. I have had a bait set for a week with the only hits being wolves. Had 4 bears coming to this site last year. With wolves coming in will bears not come around? If so, should a person find a new site?

Thanks

If youve had bear ther in the past it might better to just shut it down and remove all bait for a while. How long? Not sure. 5-7 days maybe. Good thing abiut that it will be right up to hunting and could draw bear from other site. I would soack the area well if u do it that way

WOW ProTrapper. Hard to imagine you have even 40 baits out with 37 hits!!! How do keep up with that many? You must have alot of help.. My Buddy (guide) Used to run 20 or so and it took better part of a day with a friend helping. I envy you if you can!!! Hey, out of curiosity. How many baits can a Guide have? Is it unlimited ?

Used to run a lot more baits than that. With the low lottery tags not as many hunters. I have helpers. I take three weeks off. Don't think MN is taking more guides on. They cracked down on the crooks. I'm state snd federally licensed bonded and insured. Three baits per hunter and three per guide license.

Love the color phase bears coldtrack. My brother was a hunting guide in montana/Idaho for 20 years and there were so many color phase bears out there when I would go with him that it was amazing. Of course, nearly all of mine were black there too! Got one beautiful cinnamon one year, but was smallish.

My son and I got hit right away on one bait. One solid boar, I would guess around 225-250? A decent sow with two cubs wont leave it alone. I baited on friday instead of saturday (couldn't wait any longer) I'm O.K. with the sow and cubs for now because they contribute 12 more feet greasing up the surrounding area. Cubs are tiny and fiesty. Cams turned in every direction and videos are mostly hair after the first couple. I head back up on tuesday again.

checked the baits on Saturday and we got 6-10 working good. Just dropped bait on Wednesday, so that was only 3 days, with some rain in there to boot. The baits that didn't get hit, are in an area that has a lot of raspberries and black berries.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
