Looking for 30-40 gallon plastic drums

[Bucksnbows]

For bear bait stations for the hopefully upcoming October archery season.  I have had one in the woods maybe for 15 years, but now am looking for a second (or third) bait station to get more hunters out to shoot more bears.  Nobody is going to magically make my bears disappear, so I have decided to treat them like deer from now on.  No more taxidermy, just shoot 'em, eat 'em, and toss the hide out. @Rusty and I have also invited down some from the NYWW site to help further.  Most NJ hunters have no interest or are in the  "one and done" category.  I was in both of those categories myself over the years, just to be honest.  For those that think bear doesn't taste good, my annual trout crew on the Upper D just raved about my bear Bolognese in camp last week.  And they loved the snack stix and cheddar garlic Brats as well.    

I'm in Taylorhamville, but travel to central from time to time.  Thanks to anyone that has one or two they don't need.

Check Facebook there is a guy in rockaway that post sometime. 

I am with you I treat like deer as well need to just keep shooting them.

I’m sure you could offer the hide away. I have multiple non hunters ask for the hide if I’m gunna dispose of it. Even after telling them  the price to have it rugged.

I tried last year with zero success.  In the end, that bear is going to be a shoulder mount and should be done fairly soon I'd guess.

My bear will be a 1/2 mount, I believe sometime in 2025 it will done....no big deal for me

Shoot me a pm, I have one you can have.  I am a couple miles from point mountain.  It is a 30 gallon blue drum.

I walked past them in BJs who had them for sale.  Didn't pay attention to the price.

Oh no, you mean I have to cross the Musky during the sulphur hatch to grab a barrel from you?  Well, maybe I can slide a 4 weight into the truck “just in case”. 
 

Thanks for the offer and I’ll take you up on it via PM.

I’m going to try and get out this year for the NJ bear hunt.  Never did it here on PA.  But I love bear meat and enjoy hunting them as well.  Seems there is quite a few of em as well.  Feel I need to do my part! Lol

If things change pick up at the international trade zone.  If that’s easier for you.
