2017 swampyak bear adventure
Well I got my baits out. Trying two new locations and one old one. Lots of good old locations but I thought I would try some new spots this year. Mother Nature isn't helping with the rising fire danger though. Makes it hard to get any days off.

You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: 2017 swampyak bear adventure
Looks like I'm back to 2/3. The two that are getting hit are hit hard but don't appear to have shooters yet. The third one I had high hopes for but it was only hit once. We had a close call with a big bear close by this bait last year. It was repositioned but it's currently not working the way I hoped but that's part of the adventure. One of the active baits i can't use a camera on. The other one had a nice bear on it when we quite hunting last year
No rain so working is getting harder to get any days off

Re: 2017 swampyak bear adventure
Well two of the baits are still being hit well. I can only have a camera on the bait with the smallest bear. He is hitting all day long. Has big feet for his size. He also steps in the same tracks each time. Hopefully his scent trail brings in a nice one soon
I added a track catcher to the other bait today. If no other bears show up he may be my meat bear next week
Still no rain (elevated fire danger) so I gave up my vacation time for opener I hope to have a day next week to hunt
As a side note it's looking good for one of my buddies when he gets the right wind

Re: 2017 swampyak bear adventure
Well back to 3/3 but the bigger bears seem absent so far on the baits that I'm able to put cameras on except one visit at 8am one day. Looks like Tuesday maybe my only chance to get out bear hunting. I'm hoping to get next Saturday off but it's youth waterfowl day so that will be a higher priority than my bear hunt. Darn dry weather
Not complaining one day to hunt and three active baits. It could be a lot worse
