Question for bear experts - no bait, no dogs
Here is the question, I have an opportunity to archery hunt in an area that I am 100% sure holds bear.
I will have 1 and a half days max in an area that is 6 hours from home, no dogs and no bait. Basically a long weekend in VA where you can't hunt Sundays. So Friday night and all day Saturday.
I am thinking I need some serious scent lure.
What would be your strategy?
The area is fairly mountainous, wooded, one large field, one gravel trail roughly 10% grade. I've seen bear there myself, my grandfather sees bear there, and we know a property owner nearby that has half a dozen bear or more around his property.
