Been really busy the last 12 days, running baits and prepping for the hunters. My 17 baits that I take care of are all getting hammered. I have 8 hunters on my baits so far for opening day tomorrow. Got several 400 to 500 pound bear on the baits. Hopefully the rain that they are predicting for the next 3 days doesn't happen. Going to have a total of 82 hunters go thru camp this year. So far we have gone thru 2 semi loads of cookies/bait. Time to go to bed 5:00 am comes early. Will try to post pictures in the up coming days.

Good luck Tom, what was the largest bear taken from camp? I got back late with a bear, so I didn't check the weights on bear that came in when I was gone.

Biggest bear in camp is 343 pounds. Up to 42 bears killed. The weather the 1st 3 days was terrible. Had 5 archery hunters wound bear that were not recovered. Only a couple hunters in camp early this week with more rolling in starting Thursday. Checked cameras and I have 5 giants on my baits. 3 of them coming in daylight hours. Hoping that a few hunters can seal the deal later this week. Time for a shower and bed.

I felt bad for the guy cause he had to keep baits going until these dudes came back.

My brother drew a tag for my land in WI and hunted Thursday through Saturday and it was not good. Rain every day and that stopped bear movement.
