that's 90% of my pics.  PITA's in all spots. Get pics of them eating the camera all the time too.  Wait a few more years, it will be right back to the way it was in early 2000

True the bear population will soon become a problem but with that said these are great shots of fascinating animals. If some humans had similar family loyalties there would be less problems in the world.

When your dumping a silos worth of food in a pile....what did you expect? 

Effectively baiting and dumping are totally different

What do you do to get the deer in front of the camera this time of year without attracting bear?  I'm new to this.  I'm just putting out a quart bag of trace minerals or half a mineral block with an apple flavored mineral brick smashed into powder or a scoop of lucky buck and the bears jump on it.  We're loaded with bear up here.  I've been pulling out of sights that get bear infested and start new sights but they are on them right away.  Deer aren't going for just plain trace minerals at all.  I'm thinking of going back to just watching trails with no bait, but a lot of bucks are missed that don't walk trails or go different routes
