absolutely. the dealers must often think, " how can people be so friggin set on screwing themselves, and then complain about high prices? Stupid American public that's how!! LOL
Keep your holes about 12x6 inches so they can't get their head inside. After 20 years baiting in Alaska I figured it out after a while. Also put a small amount on the ground next to the barrel so the wind will carry scent. Had many grizzly rip the barrel loose and take it a couple hundred yards...
I have to laugh when I think about 20 years in Alaska with NO GPS and just a compass or two. For some reason, modern guys can't take a chit without some type of electronics. I'd say 90% wouldn't be in the woods without a crutch of some type. This stuff is not the answer, hard work and common...
Most summer "scouting" runs elk out of the area whether you see them or not. Seen it happen countless times. And they usually DON'T come back by hunting season. Too many other places to hang out where they are not bothered
left there in the 90s can't imagine how bad it is now. after 20 years in Alaska I'm sooo spoiled now. now 74, am glad I made the move when i did or I would hate myself for not leaving. Simply too many people now and it has ruined everything about the outdoors. IMO
Info sharing to the world is what has ruined hunting IMO.e everybody wants the work done for them and can't understand why others won't broadcast their years of work to a stranger. Learned my lesson he hard way and can't believe it is still going on after years of this stuff. And most are so...
