Other than a logging operation working through my first bait, everything seems to be in order for this years bear hunt. I have a brother and father that have tags and this will probably be my last opportunity for a few years to do this baiting thing. I get a real charge out of getting the pictures and you really never know what is going to show up. So here goes with the first set!!! These all seem to be the same little guy...

So hoping that the 10:05 picture is not that of a cub... Although it might be an indication of how small the little guy is...
Re-baited this a.m. and got cut into the second bait, it is up and running now, but without camera at this moment. Perhaps I'll get out tomorrow a.m. to install second cam, we'll see how late the resort guests keep me at the bar this evening...
Oh yea, the last pic might be that vaunted jackelope!!!

Thanks guys!!! Getting these pics really is the basis of motivation to keep baiting for others or even myself. I really get a kick out of the trail cam stuff!!! Its just a little different to get to see bears, when most are looking for deer/turkey. Even when doing this for bear, the unique pics like the snowshoe hair, the shot passing on my bro's hunt from two years ago, bobcat, woodcock, mice, etc. are the really neat things we get to see rolling through its lens area. Hope to get another cam up on the second bait in the next day or two and get pics from the first again Thurs./Fri. More soon...

This is too funny. Look at how little that guy is!!! Can you see the rock sticking out both sides of his little body!!! I did the reference pic of my full grown puppy at 100#. I am pretty sure that he is on his own now as his pic hasn't shown up with a bigger bear. After looking at today's pull this little guy will be getting referenced again.

The first several are of the little guy, but they do get progressively bigger. The pic after the lead where he is removing the stone, is of his back side taking off. I think he dropped the rock on his foot and he had to go!!! More coming and a really nice one showed up. I have to get them cropped and will get them up from both cams.

But the rock doesn't stick out both sides when your standing there Mark

Sorry took so long to get some pics up... Bears have been in every time I have been to the baits. Logging operation puts a pinch on the timing of entry to the land as the logging trucks loading platform is at the entry to the piece of land. They are not going all the way back to the second bait, but are going to be close to the first bait. Chief logger has told me that he probably because of the grade where the first bait is will leave that area alone. I think the abundance of different bears is a result of them skirting the operation. Some good size bear in the pics so far and it gets better!!!

Still got a couple left in this set and tried to put up any thing that happened at a different time. The bigger bear did get a few more views though... Oh yea and that snowshoe hair made it through again... Got a wolf shot or two coming as well.

First one is a potential average bear (equals shooter) and I think is legal, second one will get a pass this season!!!

Gotta love those woodcock, I know my dogs sure get a kick out of chasing them!!! I get like 8 or 9 pics of this little boar for like 10 minutes, then boom the biggest bear I have gotten a picture of doing this three years out of the last five. I think the B&W's may not be the same bear as the last two colors, though I haven't studied it enough to be sure. Either way even if it is the same bear, nice to know it is traveling during the daylight!!!
