When does everyone get the baits started?
I have a few bags of “treats” stored in the garage itching to get rolling

I sued to start early but found the bears didn't hit regularly until the leaves started to come out and the bugs were out. I wait until later now

Our camp crew (I rarely go in the spring) only hunt the first two or three weeks in the spring until the Walleye opener,then,it's the fall hunt. They like to use the "bacon and egg breakfast in the woods" bait system. Laugh all you like,but,It's worked for them more than a few times.

Bears will come out once you get down to 50-60% snow cover. They’ll roam around looking for food and will miles in their search.

I’ve been using deer chow to bring deer to my trail cameras and the bears love it. I have pics of spring bears literally camping out at the feeder 24-7. Once they find it, they hit it steady after replenishing.

Good luck on your hunt.

Deep frying a turkey has a similar outcome on occasion …

Just set baits and stands today for our first season at a friend's camp. Looking forward to the learning curve.
