Scouting is the big thing. Got to find an area where they feed and then look for trails back into the thick stuff. The find a good spot for your bait sight in between. Good area would be a thicket with a few open areas, so you can see the bears when they get close to the bait but also give them a sense of security because the bait is not in the wide open. Along a normally used trail is the easiest bet, take advantage of their usual movements. Good Luck.
