Awesome! Spring or fall? Can you bait in WYO ?
There is a spring and fall season. These were all taken in the spring. I have hunted in the fall, but found too much commotion from elk hunters. I even had one of my trail cameras stolen in the fall, probably by an elk hunter.
Yes you can bait in Wyoming...and these were all taken over bait. While some people might think that's a slam dunk, it's not. Only 13 percent of Wyoming bear hunters are successful each year. And it's an enormous amount of work...scouting for good bait sites... registering bait sites with Game and Fish...setting up bait sites in the snow...driving weekly to check/replenish baits...sitting for hours at bait sites...closing bait sites, etc.
Here is a picture of the line to register baits sites at Game and Fish in Laramie. Some of those folks were in line the night before. Reminds me of black Friday sales!
