As it turned out I might have only had the one bear coming in. Did an analyze of the stomach contents but only found the remains of one muffin wrapper and that's all. No berries, no nuts. Not certain if the bacon cookers worked. Yogi seemed to establish a set feeding time of 7 p.m. and stuck to it regardless. For some reason John's bait station pretty much dried up just before the weekend of the hunt, although both afternoons something came in and dug out a couple of peanut butter sandwiches. John was napping. All I can say is "SNOOZE YOU LOSE!!!!" It was not hit overnight. They had been eating copious amounts of corn from his bait station and then suddenly gave it up. Why? You may have noticed I back packed in my bait. I was trying to cut down fuel costs on the truck with gasoline at record prices of $3.00 a gallon. Bait runs would have been a hundred dollars in the truck. I delivered the bulk of my bait to cabin in July, drove the motorcycle up loaded with fresh donuts 3 times. Gas cost was only $30.00 a trip on the bike. Kawasaki 650 "KLR" on donut runs This was the first big game animal dropped out of "Killers Nest" tree stand. The stand was built in 1990? and I never had any luck with deer there. The new clearing is only 75 yards behind me. It might be redirecting animals to skirt the edge just inside woods now and be a great stand for deer hunting. |

| Interested in bear fat or bear oil send me an email |
| I read somewhere bear fat in a jar can be used to predict weather It does soften leather and make it water repellent I've found. |
