DIY bear baiting
But here are some tips that might help
I HUNT 900-1000 km away from my baits
So I don't have luxury of pre baiting and don't use pails or barrels.
Since we usually bait and hunt at same time in a 7 -14 day period
We use what my friends and I call
CRACK BAITS
chunks of hard chocolate icing
Chunks of hard toffee
Cup of sugar
1/4 cup ? Of molasses
Put in White kitchen size garbage bag
And hang at head height
Spray area down and trail / path back to logging road with Maple syrup, liquid smoke, or cherry syrup. CALL BAIT MORE IMPORTANT THAN HANG BAITS
AT entrance of trail ( at logging road)
Hang couple strips of rags from tree branch coat them with syrup...so smell travels down logging road and bears find your trail.
If your bait isn't hit in 3 days ....move it to new spot
We have had great success with this method
