Your number 1 bear bait of all time?

[minky]

What is everyone's all time favorite bear bait and why?

[Boar]

grease. cause it preservers bait to be kept for a long time. it causes pasteries to carmelize and ferment. and its the best scent to attract bear when opening a site, pluse its great for adding scent to it. like green death.

my current favorite actual bait to put in site, i mix my own, i take rolled oat, a scoop of carmel, peanut butter or burnt honey, a scoop of trail mix and mix it all together. if i add sugar and flour id have a monster cookie, the cant get enough of it.

We use to make a grease pad in front of our baits on the ground. Good way to bring in other bears as they walk around with the grease on their pads, other bears follow the scent trail back to the bait.

Straight trail mix with caramel poured over it.

I don't have a ton of experience but I have had good luck with candy and grease on bread.

Boar, in past years you have posted that you use dog food at some bait sites, with grease on it, how does it work? Thanks minky

Manky, I have used dog food with grease as a filler and it works great! No issue but you  don't want to add to much grease and make all the dog food to soggy.

Going to bait tomorrow with fryer grease, bread, dog food, cherry frosting, peanut butter, soft candies, raw white sugar, and popcorn. I am throwing everything at them tomorrow, hopefully the bears like the variety!

Yes, out of 100lb logs so they can't carry it away!
