When I bear baited here in Colorado, I used dough-nuts, pastries, old bread, meat scraps, old cooking grease from Wendy' s, fish guts & heads, apples. rotten fruit. I would put them in a 30 gallon can & then put rocks, branches etc on top to keep out the coons & birds. Also I would keep the dough-nuts & bread in a separate can & the other can for the grease & meat scraps. I would also take a 5 gallon bucket----spray paint it black, them fill 2/3 full of fish heads, guts, grease etc------Hang it high in a tree above you bait site & in the sun !!! Make sure the lid & top of the bucket has holes so the wind will carry the scent.

Also I would take a burlap sac fill it full of bait & drag on all the trails that lead to your site.

Also pour grease all around you site, so the bears will step in it & also make a scent trail back to your site.

Then I would also do a couple of honey burns. Take a couple Steron cans & light them & put a soup can 2/3 full of honey on it. Let it burn to a crisp & let the wind carry the scrnt.

I would also put sardines in old rotten logs near my site & let the bears tear it up.


Just remember to chain your cans to a good size, live tree------ The bears will tear things up & you want them to stay at your site.

Good Luck!!
