Comments: Tonight was a very quiet night, about all I saw was a very inquisitive flying squirrel at dark. A pack of coyotes gave away their location before darkness cloaked the landscape.
My nose had a sensory smorgasbord throughout the evening. The first scent I detected coming from the bait was the offensive odor of a rotting catfish head. Next I smelled the sweet aroma of the grape concentrate pellets we had mixed with water. And finally it was all topped off with the pungent smell of the old restaurant fryer grease intermingling with the liquid smoke concentrate. What bear in its right mind could pass on this feast!
All baits were hit tonight except the Old Pine Tree and Belden road. I abandoned the Old Pine Tree bait station today.
