Really was spot on, I hunt black bear in Arkansas and am going on a hunt in November and agree using sweet bait is more appealing, here we have persimmons, pears, muscadines, etc. I also like using dried molasses, koolaid, blueberry & cherry pie filling and sugar! Thanks again for the info and good hunting!
I hunted Quebec for over a decade. We useta drive up & bait two weeks before hunting going in to hunt. We'd hang a stink bait (compound bucket hung up in a tree with fish drilled cap & bucket so rain would fill & drip scent up the woods) get expired cakes pies treats of all types for in the barrel. Then pour frying oil over & all in front of the barrel so the 🐻 would step in it & track it all over the timber. I useta do honey Burns while hunting along with sprays powders scent stick & some lures. 👍🏻🐻💯 Great Fun.... Great video.. 🏹
Very good information have used these techniques myself. I even take a bottle of molasses into the tree stand and dump it allover prior to my hunt. Not sure if it masks my sent but I had success doing it this way.
And he turns around and Mom bear is standing there with 2 big cubs.... where is your pistol ? I mean an unarmed waiter at a bear buffet might not live long.
With the trail cameras we know what's hitting our bait. In my experience the barrels help keep the bait fresh and keep other critters like raccoons and squirrels from stealing all the goodies.
@rylanloggins5933 I'm not sure what the definition of processed foods are but you could always focus on liquid or smoke type scents to help draw the bears into whatever foods you are allowed? Things like vanilla extract, commercial smoke sticks or aerosols may work if legal to use?
Never tried but I imagine the noise and flapping would bother or scare the bears and they would just tear it down. I try to keep my bait sites as quiet and natural as possible.
Hi Jamie, you don't have to but it can bring bears to a new spot faster. I'm holding a "bear camp" this spring at Mer Bleue. You should come check it out!
@jamiebarone9262 , yes it's a 5 day bear hunt where I show everyone exactly what I'm doing and why. Info is under the events tab at www.newoutdoors.net.
Surprised these videos aren’t getting more views. Informative, engaging, and good videography too. Keep it up man
great stuff, thank you!

Thanks for the comment Bob! Good luck this year.
Who doesn't love bacon. Great spot right there!
Check your regulations dog food,meat, and bacon grease are illegal in Wisconsin just an fyi. Othertips were good
This is the best « tutorial » for bear bait I have seen so far. All of the informations I have seen in other videos is there to start bear baiting
Thanks very much! We hope it helps those looking to get started. I appreciate you commenting!

Great video 👍
Thanks Brian!
Why wast your time draging a barell just hang your bait that way you know whats hitting the bait

I hunt in nc and it’s illegal to use processed foods, all I know I’m able to use is like corn and apples. What else is there to use?
Could you mix the corn with molasses or fyer oil? Not sure what qualifies as processed foods...
Sweet potatoes and peanuts .
@rylanloggins5933 I'm not sure what the definition of processed foods are but you could always focus on liquid or smoke type scents to help draw the bears into whatever foods you are allowed? Things like vanilla extract, commercial smoke sticks or aerosols may work if legal to use?
Why not run a tarp over the bait to keep the rain out?
Never tried but I imagine the noise and flapping would bother or scare the bears and they would just tear it down. I try to keep my bait sites as quiet and natural as possible.
Rob do you have to you stink bait for initial starting of a site?
Hi Jamie, you don't have to but it can bring bears to a new spot faster. I'm holding a "bear camp" this spring at Mer Bleue. You should come check it out!
When is the camp in? What is it? Is it like a training session?
