Sounds like it’s going to be a very successful year, over in Maine they have been just destroying my baits , I am really excited about opening day !!!!! Good luck to you and all your hunters Bernie 👍
Looking great this year. I love the bear videos at the end. So many to look at. Always fun to try and guess the sex. I wouldn’t know if I’m right but still fun anyway. Good luck with everything 👍👍
Had three or four bear the first day of baiting than have not had any back since. Have some one about 1/2 mile away baiting. Hoping cooler weather coming up brings them back. Area 25
Bernie I hope one day you find time and compose a video on how to find good bait areas in woody oak lots and medium agricultural land like central MN. If it helps I would be in the quota area of MN like North of Foley and
Im not having nearly the action in area 51 that you are Bernie. It took almost all the first week to get all 6 of our baits hit. Thats unusual for us, it usually takes hours, not days. Theres a LOT of berries in my area though, and the lack of wind every day isnt drawing in bears from any distance
I do not know if you read all of these or how you answer to any questions. At about 6:22 into the video you have a bear standing up on your barrel. Do you have a guess how big a bear this would be? In places that I have bear hunted the outfitter usually has an idea on gauging the size of the bear by things around or placed in the baiting area. Thanks a lot, loving the videos.
Another question, sorry just kind of curious. You have the barrels attached to the trees and in some of the cases there is bait on the ground by the barrel. Do you fill the barrel and the bears pull that much of the food out or do you put a small pile on the ground?
Looking promising, I don't know exactly where you are baiting, but I'm pretty sure you're somewhere north of nashwauk. I am also north off nashwauk. Bears have been an issue for pretty much all my neighbors. I have had bait out since the opening of baiting. Beaver pond an 8th of a mile away, my bait is 100 yards or so from a very light traveled road, also a lake about a quarter mile from my bait. Putting out good quality food for them, spraying sent, fry oils, and putting frosting on the trees, not one bear has hit, is there something I could be missing? Not understanding how the bears are in the area and I'm not having any come in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Side note, I'm baiting on private property also. No people pushing the woods.
Wind direction has been a big deal this year. Humidity is good for scent but you need a breeze to move it around. I had a couple baits that took a few days to get hit then they blew up almost overnight. They'll come.
I can’t imagine how much you have spent on bait. I hope that means success for all your hunters.
Best bear channel on the World Wide Web!!!

Stay with it. Very spotty this year.
The bear at the 8:25 mark's GOT to be the "Head Bear" with a head like that!
Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!

I would say that bear is probably 150-160

It spills on the ground and also the bears pull it out.
Thank the hunting gods for a great year. They don't happen every time
Good video. Haven’t had any hit mine yet. But today will only be 3rd out.
I had a couple that sat for a week then boom, 3-4 bears every day.
I like big river bottoms. Have really good luck in wisconsin
Or any thick nasty swamp
Have one close to water in lower land and another on a ridge between a few lakes. Still baiting them and spraying attractants daily.
@kirk8893 well they will find it.

@BowhuntingRoad I agree, it's just kinda a crazy thing how it's working out. Thank you, for the response. Good luck to you all.
Did you try the acorn oil from Funke Trap Supplies?
Never heard of it. Interesting.
If I was hunting at your camp I would ask you to go out opening morning! And sit all day!
Where can i get trail mix thanks
There are bear bait dealers all across the midwest and every state that has bear baiting.
Log cabin store in Danbury wi. Should have some
