You wont see Tred Barta doing no spot and stalk Bear Hunt in my State, He would not even get film of Him Missing!!! Bears in my part of the State are reclusive, nocturnal, and unpatternable. A big Boar can cover 5 miles in a night, they might eat Berrries 2 days in one spot and be eating Acorns 2 miles away tomorrow, or do both the same night. For those that think Bear Hunting over Bait is nothing more than droping a pile of bait in the Big Bear woods, and sitting around waiting for one,are under some sort of Delusional Assumption. It's just as hard to Establish a Big Bore Bear Bait as it is to pick a stand for a Book size Whitetial, if not harder in some places, and would compare it to Scrape Hunting Mature Bucks. There is no less Scouting involved than there is Deer Hunting, Looking for Tracks, Stripped and or Broken Limbs, Marked Trees, Scent Posts, Overturned Logs, Torn up Stumps, Wallows, and so on. After all the scouting is done, and you have picked a spot to place a bait the work Begins, packing bait in often enough to keep a Bear interested enough to come back, and even if he does come back, does not mean you will ever see Him! Dont have to take my word for it, check the stats in States that allow Baiting, I think you will find it's no where near 100%. I have never Baited for Deer, never needed to!
