First check to see if it legal to bait bears there "Duane". If there are planted crops in place andthe bears are eating them that should be more than sporting IMO. Getting them hooked on donuts and molassis is certain death for them. They are really a pig with fur and killing one over a donut pile is easy....kind of like shooting fish in a barrel or ......canned hunting. Remember that one Big Duane? Bears are a great game animal and deserve to be hunted fair chase.
