Well we seen the coon again at 7:30....seriously cool how they show up at exactly 7:30 3 nights in a row, you would think they wear watches. Beyond that there were no sightings tonight, 89° in the blind and treestand tonight..brutal. Still 80° at 9:45 pm, very unusual for WI. Mom didn't see anything either, although her bait was at least destroyed overnight. Tomorrow Hunter and I are going to sit a new bait that hasn't been hunted yet, providing the wind is right. Its been hit and miss here, but we need a change of scenery.

Nothing last night. Decided to do a morning hunt this am. Hunted for 3.5 hours and nothing. Ran home for lunch and to get mom for the afternoon hunt. Back in the blind for the last hour. BSD news though. He was in and destroyed the bait midday while we were not here:mad:uploadfromtaptalk1378674574495.jpg

Sounds like they are getting more comfortable at the bait. Do you have cams on the baits? Know how many different bears are hitting them?

Good luck!

Blanked again last night. About 10° cooler today, but feels similar because the sun is out bearing down. We'll see what tonight brings!

Anything last night? Today is your last shot before you head out West, right? My kids are pulling for Hunter. Any time out with the kids is great, but I'm hoping you get him a bear too.
