Sorry to hear that Handgunner. Sounds like your guide might have turned his bears nocturnal, it happens if you're baiting at the wrong time of day.
The bears are finicky this year, and easily turned, mostly cause of the weather. It's been way to warm for this time of year. We're having a hard time keeping some of our baits active, but our season doesn't end for another month or so so things will most likely look better once the weather cools. Least I hope so cause we've still got tags to fill.
