Idk how the heck I could haul that much to my lone rusty barrel.

Same as I do, one feed sack at a time from the 4-wheeler trailer.
You really do need to get a new barrel. As the lone elite bear hunter your standards should be higher than the rest of us hillbillies.

I may get another barrel, but the OG will stay in its place for sentimental reasons.

Are you gonna mix a liquid in to coat those? Grease, molasses, etc?

I have some syrup but I think ill thin down the caramel I have

How many barrels do you bait?
2,200 lbs of mixed nuts would last me 10-12 years.

If I do 3 bait stations and they come eating heavy it'll go pretty fast.

With all the natural stuff in the woods last year, it was a total bust for me. I did not have anything on camera after Sept 7th - so I did not keep feeding or get in the stand on that 85 degree day. So, it was actually a good break. But I have two so far this year on camera. I took my biggest last year. A 12-year old sow that was 320+ lbs (that's what scale showed before her head off the ground and pulley broke). I have only gotten three, but progressively bigger. All with crossbow. So this year, if I go to all the trouble, I am going to try compound bow for a new achievement. We will see.

I have one 5-gallon bucket of peanut butter from last year unopened. I am hoping it is still good to use.

Anyone Tried Sweetfeed for Bear ?

Yes. It doesn’t get eaten like dog food or corn. Much like oats They’ll rake it out and leave it to rot.

This is my deer hunting spot... I scattered some dried distillers grain a couple of weeks ago, and this.

I might sell a few hundred pounds of the mixed nuts if anyone is interested (NLR)

acquired permission from owner of the remote 40 acres I last killed bear on - this is video from last year at that location (I only hunted it one day)

Those coons can be rough on a fruit tree.

My Mom watched 2 bears climbing it, breaking limbs and eating pears
