I've have 2 baits setup in the halma swamp since the 16th and nothing has been touched yet......i'm in the same area that i've hunted for 3 years now and this is a first. Kinda frustrating but I think and hope boar is right about all of the natural stuff being later.

Boar- Go out there on opener and try a bacon burn and see if that brings him in. Worth a shot.

Oh beleive me, I thought about that an have a jug og big paw to do a burn, but now my "For better or worse" vow has reared it's ugly head an my wife is pulling a double on Monday an school starts tuesday so who has to hold down the fort? Yep. So we'll see what transpires. Good luck to all. Boar

Talked to my buddy today and all sites have been hit. I will be talking to him later about what happened last night. I can't wait for tomorrow. Hey Boar, I have a small problem as well, my wife is due any day and I'll be a couple hours away. Like my buddy says, "you can't get em sittin on the couch." I'll update in a little bit.

Ya know I used to say that too, but now I say "If mamma aint happy, no ones happy" I hear ya guys but it's all part of my master plan. When I pay my dues I am duely rewarded. Good luck guys. Boar

My budy and I went out this morning with no luck. Heading out in 10 minutes to try again tonight. Will also try a bacon burn tonight. man is it warm out. Next weekend should be a good weekend.

Did not try the bacon burn as it was way to windy and warm out. Raining like cats and dogs out right now. Thursday night will be the next time I will be able to get out.

we were 0 for 8 with hits labor day weekend. will check the 6th. if no luck will probably wait till later in season.

Glenn,
If you wanted me to make a mid week bait check for you let me know. I'm ATV-less, so I'd have to walk in. Let me know! I think this cooler weather will definitely help the bear hunters out!!!

bmc thanks for the offer. we will see what goes this weekend. ill be going thru dr about 1;30 2;30 am sat. if not much activity im thinking of waiting a few weeks. one bait had dogs at it. scared my son pretty good.

this one came in 15min after i left monday

Glenn,
A deputy friend of mine has some buddies up from SW MN and their baits just started getting hammered in the last couple of days! They both sat tonight for the first time, but no luck. I'll be out working Fri night/Sat morning so I'll look for you coming through town.

Brian

cool. i usually stop at cenex to fill the gas tank. my son and mom should be checking the baits fri afternoon. we shall see then.

nice pics guys, where are the rest of them???

we had baits getting hit every 3rd day until last sunday...now 6 days and not even a log moved...............gonna wait till the natural forage is gone...good luck to all
