Probably so. I haven't wet a line yet this year, maybe we'll head out the next couple days. The summer heat and the associated bugs in the woods puts a big dent in my habitat work. It tends to limit me to mowing and spraying and that's about it. Otherwise I head to the fishing hole and drink some beer and spend some time with the kids. This also buys me some points with the wife as she gets some peace and quiet of her own. I'll hang stands and stuff when I can get a rainy/cooler weekend and over seed my cereal grain/brassica mix the same weekend and then sit and wait for deer season to get here. My ventures into the woods are limited to checking cams and simply keeping tabs on things and I get in and get out.....damn skeeters and biting flies will carry you off!
Right now when I'm bear baiting the skeeters are not biting me because I have heavy deet bug spray on. But I sure as hell are inhaling them with almost every breath.

Well we have 1 bear in the entire state here so baiting that one bear seems a bit of a stupid thing to be doing in this heat from my perspective! I don't care if the skeeters are biting or if your making a snack out of them - just doesn't sound like a good time to me!! Honestly - I'm glad we don't have bears. I have enough bad habits I don't need to add bear hunting to the list. Summer is for a shady place with a nice breeze on the water with plenty of bait and enough cold beer to last the day.....and if I have to choose bait or beer....well the fish are going to go hungry! As far as I am concerned we have 4 season here in IN....spring plotting season, summer fishing season, fall deer hunting season and winter chainsaw work season. Enough for me! Good luck with the bear baiting gig.......
