i do a simple honey burn and the bears seem to like this...since i cant bait in ny i take a can and fill it 3/4 of the way with honey and take a sterno or 2 and put it under the can...this sends that sweet smell all through the woods

If you are not baiting or using hounds, then spot-and-stalk is your only option. Try using a distress call as well.

Do your reserch. Scout the area and use a predator call. I have called in bears. It is harder than hunting them over bait but it can be done. When they do come in they usually come in close. So be prepaired for the possibility of a close encounter.

Right now in NM in the Gila area it is so dry all you have to do is hunt water holes with fresh sign around them. Outfitters say really high success averages on BB spot and stalk but mostly water holes.

Up here they like to eat beachnuts and accorns, but if I couldn't use bait I would want to run a dog for them.
