2025 spring bear thread

[jpc01101]

First solo bait site set up this year, getting good action for the last two weeks, bears seem happy with it. Anyone have any tips for how long after refreshing bait can the site be hunted? I don’t see an issue hunting it less than 24 hours after refreshing it if they anre coming in consistently, any objections or tips.

If they are used to you baiting then bait it make a little noise go sit down and shoot the bear. I killed a bear 7 minutes after baiting and making noise in Idaho a couple years ago. Bonus points if you can talk someone into walking in with you and then make some noise on the way out.
