Bear Bait

I’m in Post Falls.

I‘ll try and find the guys name, he was easy to deal with and had thousands of pounds on hand.

Go to a butcher and get pork scraps.
Used it all and they will scoop out dog food, sweet feed ,bead, molasses, donuts to get at a nice chunk a pork fat.
Do a pork fat burn/smoke with charcoal and a steel coffee can and get ready if they are around. Had seven bears on a first day bait.

Bait em 907 has some scent stuff that I won’t set a bait without. One is called nasty boar. It’s a skunk based long call scent ball you hangin a tree and will last a month or so. I’ve seen black bears go crazy for these things!!! Food wise, pick a source and go with it. But your scent to draw them in is 90 percent of the game I believe. A sow checking out a spring bait, just made several boars check it out as well.
I run dog food/fyer oil and watched bears eat the dirt when the food is gone. Sweeter is helpful but not crucial. Scent to get them there. Sustenance to keep them there.

100% agree with this. Two other excellent call scents are Knock-Out and Magnum Marten. The Nasty Boar is great as well.

I find with the Knockout, it is so strong that if you put some in a small baby food jar, and poke one small hole, or even none at all, the scent lasts forever that way. If you spread the paste around, it’s strong as hell for a short time compared to a sealed jar, it’s that strong.

Example you open a jar use it, maybe 1/4 of a jar or less. Throw that sealed shut jar in your bait bucket with a lid, the scent escapes the closed jar, and will make that bucket smell for weeks. That shit is the definition of strong. The shipping charge is based on trying not to have bears rip your mailbox off the post.
