Carl--what are you using?? .06? Art, Yes a Remington 7400 carbine. I may let the nephew use it and I'll use my 32 Special. Well the bear bait pulled in a doe and fawn but, the nephew squeaked the stand. The doe came in closer and took the fawn away. The fawn was headed towards the bait barrel. The nephew needs some lessens on keeping quiet while in the stand.

Update I saw a 80 pound bear cross the road when I was headed to camp. The nephew is sitting at The bait site. Nothing hit the site yet. I'm in my orchard. The wind had picked up. I see about 5-6 trees that need to be cleared for shooting and I didn't bring my hand saw. Lol There's a ton of apples hanging in here. The pruning work in February has paid off. You got any concerns about too much natural food distracting their attention away from your bait? I do because the acorns are falling some now. Blackberries at my nephews are still going strong. We are due for a possible frost tonight. That may help. If they get on a food source they may not travel as much and find our site. We have until 9/28 so there's time.

Nothing hit the bear bait overnight. The nephew is in the stand. He says it's a little cold. I slept in. He saw 3 deer from the bear bait site and then a doe on the lawn at camp eating apples right a dark. No bear.

Live from the blind Not sure what I'm more excited for... the ducks we haven't seen or the bacon and eggs I'm about to make I went to western Nebraska on a hunt like that. We had deer sausage and coffee. There's something about that setting that makes that stuff taste a little bit better than at home.

Another great thing from the MN DNR. No teal season in MN.
Let them all leave the state, just to get piss pounded by states south of us that have early teal seasons.

I'm bummed 😑 See what happens when you have a good looking chick laying next to you in bed! Pretty soon they are carrying your balls around in their purse and you are done hunting! FYI: Dusty never made it out this morning either! Go Figure!
