RE: Setting Up My Bear Bait Site!

I've never had to do any of that. Most of my hunting has been on foot, stalking. I'd range out of camp and do some 20km a day seeking the quarry and on occasions bait a tank (earthworks pushed up to enclose water usually about the side of a couple Olympic sized pools or so). I hunt in remote areas, I'm talking 500km from the closest town and that only a fly-speck town so there's not a lot of gear.

So, in this way I've hunted pigs, like razorbacks, and had good success. They like eating each other so the best bait has been pig but roo or goat works in a pinch.

Deer is different of course, as is goat, but in the main that's how I've hunted. I have mates that hunt pigs with bayonets and pig dogs but that's not my style. I guess I don't trust dogs enough. I've done a lot of long range goat shooting...I mean 1200-1400 metres in mountainous terrain. I enjoy that as I'm a long range shooter at heart.

These days I mainly cull on a big cattle farm - Roos, deer, foxes and the like. I shoot at between 100m-500m and go all year round...Except when it's hot. (Gets to 47+ here. Celcius.)

Seems like you've got it all worked out so hopefully you go ok. Please tell me, are the bears a pest in need of culling and what's the situation around numbers, how many do you/can you take? Maybe a post on it?
