Since I stopped using barrels for the bait we see it quite often. Sometimes every night sometimes a couple times a week. The interactions are fun to watch. Last year a 6’ black bear did not like one of the browns he ate with and would walk up and pound him in the head with his paw and chase him off!!
These “runways” aren’t like actual runways. Sandbars. Gravel openings. Ridges. Stuff like that. I try to set them up so I can almost get the wing of the plane over the bait. I have one bait I carry food about 60 yards. That’s the farthest. Most are under 40. Ones even literally under the wing of the plane. I go thru about 250 bags of dog food in two months on four to six baits.
I was thinking the same thing. Our dog food has become so expensive as of late! Getting closer and closer to $100/bag.
