If you shoot a deer or elk leave the guts n carcass there for bait as well. Pouring some vanilla extract and anise on the bait pile will help bring bears in from far away when they get in the scent stream. Honey burns are also effective.

I would but cant...due to state law :sad20:

I know it has to be some liberal tree hugger that put that law in the hunting books :sad20:

I'll try the anise and vanilla...I have some old donuts out. I didn't get to check my bait today as I had too much stuff to do...but I'll check tomorrow afternoon...

Couple of hits on my bear bait...nothing significant yet...I shot a couple ravens last night...they are good to keep other ravens off the bear bait... :lol2:

I shot one on the ground and one out of a tree...with my .270...

couple updated pics...the bear are starting to hit the bait more...I had 3 days in a row then thurs,fri, Saturday nothing...Saturday/Sunday morning almost got cleaned out by a sow and 2 possibly 3 cubs....

bait is refilled I stayed till I got too cold and called it a night..nothing in daylight/shooting hours lately...

A little off topic…but here’s the ribeye steaks I was cooking for dinner this year on the first night of my remote flyout caribou hunt in Alaska…

And here’s the grizzly that came roaring past camp about 45 minutes later, guess he thought we had one for him!

Prob thought YOU were the ribeye steak...lol heres one side view of the sow...shes pretty big IMO but hasn't shown herself in daylight... :sad20:

Sow is infront of the camera about 4-5 feet...I don't know if you can see her... :innocent0

wilcam47 · Oct 17, 2013

he knows the time I leave :sad20:

I left about 625-630pm.. :sad20:

wilcam, I look forward to seeing your pictures of the bear, keep 'em coming.

wilcam47 · Oct 18, 2013

will do...I have some others but nothing of significance...I thought these last two pics were neat...

I didn't get any pics last night because I take out the card while I add bait to the barrel and when I put the card back in I didn't remember to check to see if its on :sad20:

I have till the end of the month to get one of these....my hopes are on this lighter colored one...I should get more pics tomorrow...I had a moose 5yd from the barrel today...I thought for a second OH I GOT YOU BEAR!! then I was like get out of here stupid moose and she crashed through the woods!! lol

Bears respond to calling, usually a distressed animal. I don't know if that's legal in Maryland, though.

As long as it is a hand held mouth type call it is legal, all electronic calls are illegal. I've got one of the mouth calls and will be trying it next week in Garrett Cty......I drew a tag

well I still have night activity...nothing in the day :sad20:

heres a couple from last nights pull

wilcam47 · Oct 21, 2013

after reviewing the game cam pics tonight I found I have more bear than I thought on the bait...the cinnamon bear is actually one of two cinnamon bears!! and I have a new one that looks mean as all get out! so all total Ive had 7 different bear on my bait...and only one mid-day showing, one early morning showing. Im still hopeful but am losing time...one needs to come out during the time im sitting there :sad20:

wilcam47 · Oct 26, 2013

Well I finally got one! Its small but still gonna be good eating...
