Wyoming spring black bears- spot and stalk or bait?

[Flyboy]

Hello all! I'm new to Rokslide so hopefully this is going in the right place... I am a brand new bear hunter and my only knowledge is from here, podcasts and youtube. I have a pretty limited budget and could probably get out to hunt 1 maybe 2 evenings a week for a good portion of the spring season and possibly an overnight camp at the truck at some point. What I'm wondering is if it would be worth the effort of a bait stand or if I'm better off to just spot and stalk? In Wyoming bait needs to be in a barrel, so no just putting donuts in a hole with logs over them. I live roughly 2 1/2 hours drive from where I'm thinking of hunting. It sounds like bait stands can be a lot of effort/cost. Does it really increase odds of tagging out enough to be worth it? I'm not looking for a giant by any means, really just something that I can sleep at night knowing it lived longer than a year or two haha. If baiting is the way to go, what is a reasonable cost I could expect? I hear people saying they get old donuts or popcorn, is that from dumpster diving or do you buy those? Any and all help is appreciated by this newbie!!
