Wooohhoooo!! The 2017 season is off and running!! Got 14 baits up and going so far. Still a bit greasy in some spots in the woods. Been several years since we could get things going this early. Gets a guy all fired up.

I fired up a couple today. Not much for bear sightings around my area yet.

I think I started looking for new bait sites about this time last year. Was too early to see much actual bear sign but without any foliage it was easy to spot good setups for bait sites. Some of the new sites worked out, some didn't. The ones that didn't work out were mostly because wolfs would eat up the bait before bears got established so I quit those sites early on.
