[Boar]

Yaah! i get to start this year. I replaced batteries and found out the dates were way of, obviously not january. mostley daytime, but love the barrel wrestling. I call him delicious!

[Boar]

crud soory guys, got so exited i forgot about the other thread. Rick delete thios thgred if you will please or any other Mod.

Boar, you crack me up!!  I think you would get along great with my buddy that I hunt with. He starts talking about bear hunting the day after the season closes, and starts making list for the next season bout March. You could say that he to lives for hunting, but he really gets going for bear hunting. Not saying that I don't get excited, if I didn't I sure wouldn't be doing it.

sounds like him an I are "Down with the Sickness"

NEW TO USING A BARREL:

What is on the back of the barrel to attach it to the tree?  Did you weld a loop?  How big of a hole to cut in front?  Do you line the hole with anything?

[Boar]

i use 35 gal barrels but works the same as a 55 obviously, ive welded some pip befor to pass a chain thru, not nesscary, poke to hole 6-8 apart to pas chain threw.no need to line the hole i use myself as a guide hole big enough to get an ove mit threw and high enough just so i can reach the bottom. but ther are many variations on the web. just google baer bait barrel. some like to cain around the bottom so the bear can throw the barrel around with little holes all ove the barrel so only tidbits fall outit depends on the person i gusse

Would love to try using a barrel, but we hunt public land.

[Boar]

ugg state land, im on it with one bait all others are private., barrels are fun, but nuthing better than building a crib outa 80-100lb logs and seeing them throwen ten feet away from a bear that says,"MINE" I like barrels for the sole reason of rain, or Id build cribs on all of them, most of our sites are every 6 days, but i have a two personal sites I check ever3-2 depending.

dang seems like we have auto correction or something going on I type s i t e and it fills in page, edited this twice till I used the word bait, eeerrrrg.

but merge is cool mmmmmmeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrgggggaaaa

6 out of 10 were hit this morning,gets the blood pumping!!

[Boar]

hows this for being hit

I call him the tick!

[Coldtrack]

What are you guessing? Boar or sow? If it's a boar he is pretty short in length.

[jerkbait]

With the short fat nose my guess would be a boar. Hope you stick it to the tick Boar!!

[icehole10]

I don't have any trail camera pics,  but here are a few pics of last weekend. Getting the baits ready, and a couple of the sites that I checked, that were cleaned up. Next Tuesday cant come quick enough!!

[icehole10]

 I know where to get liqourice now, lol

Yeah, im not sure that's a secret anymore. A few years ago, they wouldn't even touch the stuff. they would eat everything and leave the licorice, so I wasn't that excited to use it again. Seems to be a hit this year!

[icehole10]

10 for 10 yesterday!! let the good times roll!

[smurfy]

WOW!!!!!!!! congrats you guys. what a difference a year makes! last year when I hunted and baited we where lucky to have our 6 baits sits get hit 10 times all season. and we hunted till the very last weekend!

I'm trying not to get to wound up, we had baits working great last year till the season started, and then they pretty much shut off!  This year will hopefully be different.

 

[Boar]

yeah Im already starting to see a lag, in a few sites, really wanted to hold off til closer to season, just couldnt do it. come on icehole, lets see some pics here, 10 for 10 with no pics, hmmmmmmm like smurfy saying he can catch fish.

[Coldtrack]

Fella buy me has 6 baits out in some of his old proven spots and has not had one hit!!!!!! I wished baiting season never started until a week before kill season, seems like the bear start getting burnt out on the bait even though I keep try to change it up.

Maybe I should do like a lot of people and wait till a week before and go put baits out by others active baits.........NOT!!! That chit aint cool.

[Boar]

one thing to purposley encroach like that but, but nuthing wrong waiting on a proven page, its just one never knows. the game resets everyday, the way things are going in  my area and as hard as my baits are getting pounded, seems like a different bear is hitting almos t every day, there are 3-4 more bear along witht hat big one now, another page has five but with a sow and three cubs, cant wait to see what late season has to offer.

They guys that I hunt with, and this is, and was not my idea, are against putting cameras up till everyone picks there stand! Each year we always give the newest or youngest hunter first pick, and go on from there. So after baiting this last Wednesday, everyone picked, so I wont have any pics till after this weekend. They seem to think its bad juju to put cameras up, and who am I to argue. we usually have plenty of success. Like I said, not my idea, I think you can waste a lot of time sitting on a bait, that may be getting hit by sow and cubs. 

 

[Boar]

that adds a fun twist, cool beans! good luck

[icehole10]

You to Boar, I hope to see some close up pics of the big fella that's been visiting your bait!!
