Wisconsin
spot - Siren area(public land)
This spot is a good one. 40
acres of public land surrounded by private land on three sides. This spot
is open enough to see the bears coming. Since a bear was harvest on this
spot by another hunter last year it is sure to produce a bear. It is only
150 yards off of one road and it is easy walking. I will start baiting
this spot on August 18, 2001.

Baited for the first time. It is harder to hunt in Wisconsin because your
only allowed 10 gallons of bait at a time. Doesn't leave much bait for
all of the bears. This spot is proven and I expect to see sign in a week.
That is as soon as I can get to it since I will be hunting in Minnesota.
Spot looks good.

Baited this spot today. I expected it to be hit hard. Again I put to many
donuts out. They didn't have to move any logs to get to the bait. I will
be checking the bait every third day now so I don't have to leave as much
bait. I ran into the landowner next to this public land and helped him
out hanging some partical board. He offered me several ways to help me
get my bear out if I get one. Good deal!

This spot will definitely produce a bear. The opener is in 10 days. I
can't wait but I still have one tag to fill in Minnesota.

I baiting this spot again and it is not being hit like the last time I
baited it. It will be interesting because I am hoping to harvest a 300
pound bear in the spot. Logs are being moved and there is alot of scat
around the bait. Maybe a big bear has taken over the bait. That happens
some times.

I have hunted twice and haven't seen a bear. This spot was suppose to
be my sure thing. Unfortunately business will end my season unexpectedly
after this weekend. Tonight is my last night to hunt this spot. What a
waste for a Wisconsin license. I am bummed!

I was able to hunt this spot one more time. I didn't see anything while
hunting but I did see a bear. As I was packing up my tree stand at the
base of my tree after shooting hours had ended, I looked at the bait and
a bear was standing there. He saw me the same time I did since we were
only 10 yards away. The bear crashed through the woods and then stopped.
I yelled at him and then got out of there. Man did I age 5 years during
that close call. See you next year!
