Bear Bait HELP!

[Hoytmystic]

I am a college student. I have little or no money to put towards bait. I need bait bad. Does anyone have any bait they would be willing to give away or cheap bait ideas. I will take anything.

Thanks

Hey Kyle,

Drop me an email at bmc2680 @ yahoo dot com and I have a couple spots for ya' as far as bait. If you've got a proven bear spot, you may want to try a honey or bacon burn when you hunt. Guys in the BWCA do this with some good success I believe. Otherwise, bait a 5 gal pail a day for a week before you can hunt. Cheap dog food and grease works good. They'll eat just about anything. You may want to talk to Gary Peck from Deer River who has a guide service and may be able to help you out. If I hear of anything I'll let ya' know. Ask family if they need to clean out their freezers. Ya' gonna bowhunt him? I'll expect a pic in the shop! Good Luck! I've always went by less food means more competition between the bears to get the meal and that means they're usually at the bait before shooting time is up.

Cheap and EAsy bear bait that works. 100 Pounds oats($6.50) 100 pounds whole corn($10 max) 50 pounds

cheap dry dog food($11.00) 50 pounds black oil sunflowers($10). Soak everything in used grease from a restraunt

(free) the more the better. It works best if you soak your bucket for your bait over night at the corn and oats really

suck up the grease. Put the dry dog food right on top when you dump it. If your bucket doesn't swoosh out

when you pour it you didn't use enough gease. If it doesn't rain everything will stay nice for about a week

before the dogfood starts to mold. Some bears will shun the corn while others will pass on the oats. They always eat

the sunflowers and the dog food. If you have anything you want to use , like meat scraps, put them under the grease

mixture and it will last longer than in the air. The bears will still find it even if it is buried. The above mix, with all the

grease you can find , should give you about 15 pails of bait.
