Wisconsin Bear Hunting

i got a tag this year for bear hunting and i amm looking for some advice. i am wondering wear i should bait on my land. the last 2 years i have had a friend and a family member hunt the same stand and both have seen bear and got them on the trail camera at the same stand. my dad thinks that i should hunt on the other side of the land which is across a fairly messy swamp. do bears really travel that far and through that much just to get food. any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks. notice the screen name. that is literally the spot that the bear have been seen and that is not a joke. the spot is called bearhill and that is the name of the road we r closest to.

Sure looks relaxed,guess we should put a recliner in there,nice size

Just pics from the yard at the cabin, I am assuming a neighbor has started a bait pile near cuz they have been moving through. No tags this year but always fun to see them passing through

More pictures from 3rd bait

Started 3 baits 2 weeks ago and 2 of them are baits from past years,they were hit within 24 hrs,one in 4 hrs. The 3rd was a new bait and it was hit the 3rd day by the bear pictured,so far so good 

Whose got a tag this year and whose got active baits? Putting mine out first weekend of July. Zone C.

Anything going on out there? Any baiting reports yet?

Gobbler, thank you

I like when sitters go first only because hopefully acorns and berries are not in full force drop mode. One week can make a difference sometimes. 

Any thoughts on whether it is better to hunt over bait in the year where bait hunters start first or when bait hunting follows the dog hunting start?  I live down state and would most likely use a guide/outfitting service.

Still have 2 available spots for Wisconsin 2024 Bear season!
Well establish Baits 
Bait sitters only
Hunt the entire season

Still have availability for Wisconsin 2024 Bear season. Zone C Baits only, hunt the entire season or till you harvest a Bear.

Checked on line today, drew a tag this year

Wolves are endangered, there can’t b that many in the state.  Can’t imagine wolves could be a contributing factor.
