RE: Favorite Bear Bait
Grease is my #1, not only will it help disperse the trail to your bait, grease poured in a goody hole will keep them coming back after the bait is gone. They smell food in the ground and will dig a big hole looking for the food. I use 30-40 gallons of grease.
For my main bait I like to use power bars. I take 1200-1300 pounds into my set. I stay out 12 days to start a pecking order.
I bait in the spring and wait til late may or early june to get the set out because the big boars are on the prowl at this time.
My buddy Gage did a great article that I have on my website, click the link in my signature for more bear info...
