Since I had bought goat feeder already I decided to put it down anyway. Place I had in mind was a little too close to lodge. Then it refused to be placed on flat surface by some reason. And finally when I found an somewhat acceptable place I also found goat herd, so I chased it down one by one and finally shot a goat that happens to be piebald black. So goat feeder would wait for another time.
With bear feeder was even funnier. I had tent near swamp, so I decided to put feeder there as by HooCairs advice. So after few minutes of walking during which I shot moose and ordinary looking bear. I put my barrel like twenty meters away from such bear without checking it first and filled it with bait. And when I checked this bear, it, of course, was exactly the cinnamon black bear that I couldn't find in previous two days (I had at least 3 of every other variants).
So from one side feeders weren't necessary, but from other I did find both animals when I tried to place feeders down, so they did helped me somehow ...
Whatever, at least with bear feeder, I probably would find some application for it in the future. I vaguely remember some mission which requires to harvest black bear with heart shot with a bow or something like that.
It was fun to be back after a break and I liked the mission. I probably wouldn't try second though. I do have two deer already, but I think I had enough of hunting for this week.
