Default RE: bear baiting

ive hunted bear quite a bit in maine and a couple times in ontario near timmons. bears will probably eat anything but in maine they always used sweets and baited with frozen meat in canada. your guide may not like you jazzing up his baits with your own stuff. i also have mixed feelings on bringing different smells to a new bait. i have done it in the past and also pissed ff the outfitter. you have to realize that its there bait station and after you leave they may put another client on it so your guide may think youve ruined the bait. i would ask first. if you need to bring somethuing i would travel light though. i make a concoction of vanilla extract-and cooking oil. old or new whatever is cheap. i think its the vanilla that the bear smells in the do-nuts. why bring bags of sweets when you can just spray the heck out of the pine tree limbs.
