Drip Sack?
 

Where can I get info on drip sacks? I'm not even sure what a drip sack is, so any info would be great.

Thanks MNB

Looking for a drip sack for bear hunting?

I guess I could have given a little more info. I was talking with another hunter last weekend who had gotten a bear and he mentioned that it was really trying to get to his drip sack. Being a first year bear hunter, I had no idea what he was talking about. So to answer your question, yes a drip sack for bear hunting.

I did not use a sack or pillow case-----what I did was to take a 5 gallon bucket & spray paint it black. Then fill it up with meat scraps, fish heads, fish guts, rotten fruit, old cooking grease, etc then put the lid on it & poke lots of holes in the lid & upper 1/3 of the bucket. Then hang it up in the tree as you can get it & in the sun so it can really get ripe !! Then the wind will spread the scent out. Hang it high or the bear will rip it down !! I have also heard of filling up a pillow case with bait, grease,etc & dragging all over the trails leading to the bait site !! Hope this answers the qwuestion.

Iuse one of two things, either cheesecloth or better a cheap meat sack. Ilike to use organ meat along with a chicken. Doesn't takemuch. What you do is get it inthe air,about 8 foot up.. over a lower bait station, which honestly does not need to have tons of food. Let the stuff rot, drip.. ooze and stick up the neighborhood, which to a predator like a bear or lion, is one whole canyon complex.

The sack draws them in, and underneath, I put somesmall meatlikeanother chicken or burger just something that rewards them for following the smell.

This isone of the best ways in alimited time to get critters coming to you;.

We just hung cans of sardines [with holes punched in them ]from trees in Michigan. Worked great for everyone but me.

For my drip sack it can vary from a peice of burlap dipped in grease to sack with fish and meat (smelly stuff) or a sack with honey, suagr, molasses (sweet stuff) I hang it up in a tree where the bear can get it or hang it down low and let them tear it apart. it is all a matter of choice
