I looked at some country Friday night and Saturday morning with no bear sightings.

Montana is the bear hot spot.

Snow has to pass us before it gets to you. In short, your snow is our sloppy seconds.

I’ll take it. Bros seem to like the freshly laid.

I didn’t know people actually used traction boards. I thought they were just for strapping on the side of overlander rigs for looks

First solo bait site set up this year, getting good action for the last two weeks, bears seem happy with it. Anyone have any tips for how long after refreshing bait can the site be hunted? I don’t see an issue hunting it less than 24 hours after refreshing it if they anre coming in consistently, any objections or tips.

Lots of times I will bait then hunt. My favourite is bait really Heavy and hunt 2-3 days later
