There's allot of ways Troy a person could go about it. Here's exactly what I do and use, this way works for me anyway. I use meat scraps that I get from the local butcher shop, bakery goods are awesome if you can find some, molasses, lots and lots of grease, liquid smoke- doesn't last a long time but its an excellent cover scent when hunting, code blue scents- just used them last year for the 1st time and love them!! A month or so prior to bear baiting I'll go and catch a bunch of bull heads and throw them in a black 5 gallon pail. I only fill the pail half full of whole fish and I then fill the pail half full of water and put a lid on it and let it sit in the sun and start fermenting. Keep it away from the house being the wife won't like the smell of it. I use this stuff right away the 1st week i start baiting being it works excellent for an attractant, put some of the liquid in a ice cream pale and start flinging it all over on the outside part of the bait, keep it out of the good stuff. Like Kyle said at the bait site when you put your meat and other stuff on the ground make sure you put big logs on them so the wolves or the yote's don't knock them off. Make sure you stack your logs nice and neat so you know exactly how they look when you go and check the bait the next time you check it. Allot of the times a big bear will hardly even move the pile when he is at the bait, then the next time he's pulls the whole thing out of the way, you just never know. I also hang meat in a tree in a gunny sack (burlap) about 7 to 9 feet or so to see what size of bear we have hitting the bait. The more claw marks on the tree the smaller the bear, less marks on the tree the bigger the bear. Put a good gallon or so of grease and molasses around the bait so they walk in it and spread it around the woods for other bear to pick up on. Also if you decide to use some sort of liquid scent like code blue that i use spray it all over the baiting area on the ground, in the tree's, anywhere you can. Throw a camera or a string timer up too if you have one to see when the bear is hitting the bait also. Mornings or evenings can very with some bear. When putting a stand up or setting up a ground blind try and stay on the opposite side where the bear generally comes in. Allot of times though it don't matter being they come in from the down wind direction anyway. In Minnesota we have so many people hunting in the same area that we follow that rule allot, you probably wouldn't have to worry as much. You can also buy sterno's that you can do some small burns with while your hunting. You can burn honey, bacon grease, anything for that matter that would put a smell out while your hunting. Another thing too while your hunting bring some liquid smoke or some kind of liquid scent and spray it where you are hunting. If your in a tree spray it all over in the tree, if your on the ground do it there. Its a good cover scent. Good luck you lucky SOB!!!
