Im planning on sitting at my bait site Saturday night. But have a new beaver to put up.
Im working this week so can't get out to my bait until around 6:30 on Friday. (have been filling bait mid day)
Guess what I am asking is, am I better off to reload the bait on Friday night even though its a bit late, or to just reload the bait prior to hunting it on Saturday?
Just prior to hunting on Sat.....lots of times bears trigger off the sounds you make while baiting and hit shortly after they hear you leave. Do your regular bait, drive away, and sneak back in.
I had bears stand a few meters away waiting for me to refill their barrels. I always like sitting over fresh bait and try and get her filled a day or two before I hunt. But like it's been said there's no rhyme or reason sometimes to bears feeding.
I have baited bears and walked a hundred metres away to turn around and see one eating at the bait ! Anything is possible .
Especially this weird and unusual year. Two beavers, do both, no harm done.
