Treed 2 yesterday.Thought 2 dogs were going backwards so us smart guys stayed with the other dogs and left these 2 to them selves for 3 hrs.Came back and they were treed with a bear.Picked them up went to the other dogs and they...
Wondering how you other guys in Maine are doing baiting? It is real slow here in southern Maine.Talked to some guys in central Maine who said the same thing.
