Never used one but after seeing one in use was fairly impressed with the product.

One thing I'd do if I was going to use one is use it baiting and maybe leave it in the stand and just let it run. Trail cameras could tell if it was an issue if it had any affect on how bears were hitting before and after. But there could be a lot of other reasons for a site not getting hit as well.

As much as us bear hunters and baiters stink in the August heat going in and out of bait sites, I'd be highly surprised if a bear wanting to get into a bait site would let that stop them, at least at a good site that had multiple bears. Now a big old bruin might have second thoughts and wait you out till he knows you are gone. But if you have access to having a buddy go in with you and drop you off, then leave, doubt it would be a huge issue if you had a tree stand at a decent height. A lower, real tight to a site stand might be a different story though.

Hoodie and 2 layers of light clothes, hat and head net, 2 jersey gloves. Little buggers don't seem to stick thru 2 layers. But the constant buzz will get to you after awhile. I put second layer of lightweight coveralls on at stand.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
