all the bait that has been noted is all good, I don't know too many things that bears don't like. here's a typical bait set up...
45 gallon of oats mixed with used cooking grease from restaurants.
I like to mix beaver meat in small chunks with it.
pastries, small candies, sugar, dog food marshmelows and syrup mixed for a treat.
honey burns will atrract them as well.
Here is the key.
Don't use anthing big that the bear can come in and drag off to eat somewhere else.
put you're bait out as soon as you are allowed to.
check you're baits on a regular schedule as to not surprise them, This will also leave you're sent there so they get used to it.
put logs on top of the barel so that you can see that if they're knocked down the bait was hit.
Once you decide what you are using for bait, don't change anything. If the bait is getting hit then keep baiting with the same routine... don't put something different there the day you decide to hunt the bait. A large bear will know something is different.
Most bears wont come into the bait until evening time. An easy way to check this is set you're bait up in the morning and when you come to hunt it in the evening, the logs will probly be set up still. If no bear comes in that evening but the logs are down when you come in the morning then this means the bear is coming in the dark. This is when you might try honey burns and treats etc to get him to come in before dark. But I would only do this after a few days of sitting the bait knowing he'se not coming in until dark.
good luck. e-mail me if you need some help or have any questions.
