Some may say its a little soon, but I've always preferred to start my bear baits early in the year. I enjoy watching the trail cam pictures, and am not overly worried about the cost of a little extra bait. I drew a tag this year and asked my Dad if he would help me with the set up, as I am working in Tulsa and would have a bit of trouble driving to central Wisconsin every weekend. That being said, @justGina and I made the drive this weekend, and am very pleased with the early camera results.
