Started my baiting just after the 4th of July as well. Only baiting two stations once every three days with powdered sugar donuts, jellies, peanut butter, molasses through the end of last week.
Now baiting every day and have put up one of two stands for the hunting next week!!! Am starting an excel spreadsheet to get a log of when bears are hitting my baits to see when might be a better time for a paticular animal. I have one digital cam and one film cam. Just had one blunder that cost me some film time, but got it back up and running and can’t wait to see what’s been hitting that station. The digital took 57 pics in the last 24 hours and while some are of coons, ravens & squirrel, the majority were bear. Haven’t analyzed it enough yet, but I think I had three or four different bear in there today and the last pic was of one dashing off into the woods just before my arrival.
Really weird, it just took me like 10 minutes to get this posted and now its off like a rocket again!!! Will try to get a pic up.
