Years ago I tried honey burns. Cameron Hanes does a bear crack mixture. The way I set a bait, the stink brings em in and the grease gets on their feet causing a wagon wheel effect of scent trails leading to the bait. I use such a big pile as I want it to last 12 days before I hunt. I stay totally out and let the bears come and go as they please. They will establish a pecking order and will force the smaller and weaker bears to feed earlier in the day. I have had bears come in at 2:00 in the afternoon.

I hunted 2 nights last year and shot the 8th bear that came in.

I like to dig a hole and fill it with grease. If they eat the bait the hole will keep them coming back for days looking for the food that they can smell... They will even start eating the dirt!!!! Here is the bear that I killed last year using this method.....
