Default RE: bear bait advice anyone?

I use ALOT of grease, make a moat of it around the bait. Bears will eat just about anything, but it is all in the advertisement. I put out one motherload of bait, grease the heck out of it, and hang stink bait. I stay out comepletely for 12 days. The bears roam in and out without a schedule and the bait starts to dwindle. Everytime one visits, it tracks the grease trail. I sat 2 days before deciding on a bear. I passed 7 before killing mine, with the earliest visitors appearing around 1-2 in the afternoon. There was alot of conflict between the bears that were coming in over the dwindling pile of power bars. Good luck
