Grease and meat and bakery goods! The grease Is great for getting scent dispersed from the bear walking around and the meat Is the best for getting stink out. Some bear just like meat, then the next bear like's just bakery goods. Every bear Is different, they all have a different diet then the other.

Depends on your area. Here In Minnesota there Is a date that we have to go by and start baiting on, no earlier. A couple weeks ahead of time Is plenty good enough If It's legal where you hunt.
