---9 days till bear season---
Pipepusher is heading out to work the legs and lungs today. no scouting , just a workout!
I have big ambitions of having 2 sites this spring. Both are walk in only.
Bait is in the shop and finishing touches have been put on the new bait hauling cart, to be used for the new ( BB ) site.
We can't bait untill the 15th.

We went up and re-baited a stand friday. There was 3" of new wet heavy snow with bear tracks in and out of the site. (that was different)
Barrell was licked clean, put 150 lbs. of bait in.
The bear cam quit due to moisture last week, after taking the picture of the 1st bear in, an all brown one. I have dried it out and re-hung it.(side note: after looking at my archives, I have discovered that most of our black colored bears have dark noses)
Snow tracks show another one with 5 "+ pads.
This A.M. it is 10 degrees below freezing at the site.
We are going to sit it for the 1st time this evening.
