minky Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 What is everyone's all time favorite bear bait and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boar Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 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.

leech~~ Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 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.

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.

minky Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 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! Duffman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
