RE: Bear Bait recipe "Bear Crack"
If you are baiting in an area with Grizzlies, avoid using meat and fish, not only can you not shoot a Grizzly over bait in states like Alaska but if you have Grizzly coming into your bait pile then the frequency of Blacks will be reduced (Bully on the block syndrome). I've had the best luck using stale bread or dog food in a barrel with something sweet, i.e. candies, cakes, sweet rolls, etc... Also, I've had great success using Anise Oil (you can find it next to the Vanilla and Almond Oil in the groc. store) added with the items mentioned above.
