I wish we could bait twice a week... They eat everything fast and get bored and wander before we can bait again. Maybe we can each do one mid week run the last two weeks before hunting? that way we would have bait every 3 or 4 days the 2 weeks leading up to the hunt. Wisconsin is set up much better for a local or a guide than for the traveling DIY guy.

Thanks dan. Yeah I can probably work that out, I'll have to take off work but the boss wI'll forgive me :D

Wis DNR has a website that shows wolf depredation incidents:

http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/wildlifehabitat ... efinitions

They also have maps with "wolf caution" areas... A few years ago I went along with a dog group and we had one of the dogs killed by a wolf. It wasn't pretty. The dog owner was compensated for the loss by the "depradation fund"....

Here's the report from the weekend.

The Buck bait had the little bear on it right after we left. between him and the deer the bait was cleaned up by the time a decent bear showed.

The road crossing was not hit.

Someone stole my camera at the Ribbon swamp, so no pics there :shock: to say I'm pissed is an understatement!

The Dam bait had a average bear on it and then apparently went dead. so I changed the batteries.

The new Bait was it twice by this bear.

The Bigfoot Bait had these three all over it at least four different times. lots of daylight pics too. Oh yeah and the white wolf. Which was there about an hour before us.

I was worried about the cam getting stole when the dog hunters found that bait... We will have to wait till they are done before putting a cam back there again.
