I will be bear hunting for the first time next fall in Wisconsin. I am in zone C so I won't have to worry about dogs running. Any advice on when to start baiting, what bait to use, or anything of the sort.

this past bear season was my first time bear hunting too. we start baiting two weeks befor the season opens but make our stands whenever we can. I used oil from KFC AND other restrongs old bred and suff.

any more ????? just ask if I don't know I'll find out.

How much did you usually have to pay for the oil and stuff from the different restaurants?? I've heard that movie theatre popcorn is a great bait.
