Just put my trail cameras out last Saturday. Had my first bear on camera in less than 36 hours. Another one on camera 12 hours later. Between bears and coons I dont know how I'm ever going to get fruit to the deer.
I had some bear chili last night. That was the last of that bear. Delicious meat, if I didn't know better I would have thought it was high quality beef.
I had one of those migrants bust off my central leader on a beautiful Norland apple. It had about 20 apples on it. Last time I baited i threw a dozen apples in the bear bait and they were the only thing the bears didn't eat. Thursday my wife and son will be looking for revenge for that Norland.
