I'm baiting him with huckleberry shakes. I actually have several pics of him on two separate evenings. My invitation will be for him to adorn my floor. (Miss Penny wants a rug, & I want a full mount.) No chair throw for that hide!
Yes, I have several cameras in that area. It is another one behind him. It's up higher due to my wanting some "taller" shots as he feeds on some of the fruit trees there. I have apple, peach, percimmon & pear trees around there. I pull my cards at random, when I want to see what is happening in my area. I also have a pack of feral dogs (6 of them) that roam through too. They are gonna meet a sudden stoppage of roaming if I see them too. About a mile away, somebody is feeding this pack of dogs, right near a grocery store. A complaint was made to animal control, but no action was taken,, so far,,,!
This bear has wandered up on my gun range, and even on the back porch of the old house I have at my range. (Lou, Pam, it was this year, not last year.) He only seems to visit when the fruit is dropping,,,! I still have some stubborn pears & apples that are available. he may make the mistake of showing up when I'm in a stand nearby. And yes, I do eat bear meat.
