Rough year this year. Usually I apply with pretty dependable dudes, but this year those who applied with me for Wisconsin zone C are not coming... Its a lot of cost and time doing it yourself. And not as fun...
Went scouting last Saturday. I was also up scouting about a month ago with Mario. I noticed bear sign at some of the bait logs from 2 seasons ago, that was not there when I went up with Mario. Being rut I was hoping find some fresh sign. And did... I found several bear tracks and some of my logs moved around and a bit off tree... Found a track I believe to be from the big one I missed last time I hunted this area. Right in the same area he hung back then.
I threw a bucket of bait in each of the 5 best spots. I would like to keep those spots baited and there are 3 more good spots I would like to start as we get closer. 1 spot I am waiting till after the hounds are done cause it was a great spot. Gotta get some cam's out there and more bait this weekend.
Man I wished I was physically up to it. If I was I'd gladly carry in some bait fro lessons from the master. Even without the chance to actually hunt.
