On one of the properties I manage in northeast Louisiana, I suggested my clients discontinue baiting, not just because of the number of bears that were being attracted, but also because the vast majority of the mature buck movement was at night on these bait stations.

This past summer we put in several new plots and discontinued baiting. Initial results are positive with the number of daylight buck sightings up from last year. And while we still have a few bear, the number of trail camera photos and sightings is down.

I’ve hunted in box stands my whole life with my grandpa, who has been my life long hunting partner. So it’s pretty much all I know. He’s getting up in age so I try to take him now as much as I can because who knows which season will be his last. We have land in northeast Louisiana. Not a lot of monsters in that area, but we hunt to stock the freezer. We’ve stopped using feeders and will just put corn out either before or after we hunt. I know some people think that’s atrocious but it’s what we do.
The bear population up there is mainly more annoying than it is anything else. They’re just so invasive. My grandpa hates them and cusses them daily.. I usually just laugh at his rants. No way I’d actually ever harm one, but they can definitely be aggravating.

We’re in the CWD zone, so no baiting. Still covered up with bears.
