If the outfitter is doing his job you don't need to bait yourself. He is getting paid to bait and bring bears to the stand site. He is in the bussness to give you the best chance to Harvist a Bear. If you have to bring Bait with you , WRONG OUTFITTER or this is a self guided hunt.

Here's my opion , Many guys spend $500 on a hunt bring there own equiptment and Grub. They do this time after time , say 5 times the have $2500 plus in a hunt and no Bear or a Little Bear. I know some grate outfitters that I have been to that is so remote you will kill a bear if you can stay still and can shoot.I am talking big bears.Why be cheap , save your money and hire a good outfitter, there is no garentee thats why it's called HUNTINGandNOT SHOOTING.
