Default RE: Lure For Black Bears

Anis oil, mint or Vinella ( pure, not artificial).
Make a scent generator: 1) 1.5"-2" PVC or ABS plastic about a foot long. Drill two through holes about an inch from each end (an eighth inch works fine). 2) One or two super absorbant, unscented tampons. 3) Heavy duty dark garbage bag.

Put a tie wire through one end of drilled holes to haing in a tree.
Tie another wire in the other through holes, to hang the tampons from.
Soak tampons in scent of choice and tie to Pipe wire.
Now cover with the garbage bag, it'll work better if you reduce the size of most heavyduty bages by one half. leave lots of room under the pipe.
Now duct tape the bag to the pipe.
Haing this high in the tree to spread the smell around.
Cut a "V" of about three inches in bottom, leaving flap attached.

The hole in the bottom is to let air in.
The pipe is to let the air out.
The garbage bag is to heat the air in the bag, pushing a conscentrated scent into the air

Two or three of these will work fine.
Next build a positioning trap. ie.,a Big "V" set in the direction you want the bear.

At the apex of the "V" lower down, hang some paper towel with the same scent. cover with brush and a "log" or two. Just enough to keep the bear occupied for a while. And so that he doesn't see that there really isn't anything there.

Some DNR guys use this same sort of set up to trap bears.

Good luck,
Dan
