RE: Baiting Black Bear.
I dont care for bear meat so I dont hunt them but I have a lot of friends who do hunt bear. One friend works not far from a candy confectionary and gets 50lb boxes of salted nut roll or gummy bears and oats with molasses. All three were put in a pile with a log on top and we video taped a bear coming in for several days. It would come in and throw the log off then sit on it's rump or lay on it's belly and pick the gummy bears out one by one til they were all gone. Then it would eat the salted nut roll and then the oats and molasses. Always in that order. I also hear a lot of people say that if you feed a bear garbage it will taste like garbage but feed it sweets it will taste good.
