Got it done last night on my public land spot. The cold weather seemed to shut down the biggest bears. Smaller bears came in at 4:45. Shot this one at 7:05. Circled the bait a couple of times before committing. Very cautious had a 1/2 mile drag up and down a couple of ravines. No ATVs allowed. Very rewarding for a true DIY hunt.
