Got my bait put out Tuesday.
Checked the bait station today, & it had been hit. This is over 2 weeks earlier than last time. Also last time(2 yrs ago), I had a brown bear show up on the bait 1st & claim it which ruined the year. This year by the looks of the tracks it's black bear, so I'm hoping to get on one quick (even if it's a smaller one) before the brown bear find the bait station.
Might even see if I can get out this evening.
