WHat should I use to bait for black bears?

Answer 1

Raw Meat Scraps, Day Old Pastries, Bucket of Honey all of these work either separately or in combination check with your local game laws and see how many bait stations you are allowed to set in a certain area then set up a couple one with Meat and one with Pastries you can also take the bucket of honey and hang it in a tree.

Answer 4

I've used popcorn, day old pastries from the bread store, scraps from the butcher (note* it is illegal in most states to use any part of game animals for bait, domestic meat scraps only) And, you need to make sure it is legal to bait in your state. In my state, we must apply at fish and game, with a map showing exactly where we intend to set a bait station, you have to post signs near the bait stations to warn others, and you must remove everything when you finish for the season so that no trace remains.

NOTE* to those who claim it is un ethical to bait bears, I say that it allows you to observe the animal to make certain you do not remove a sow that has cubs, leaving them orphaned, and it allows you the time to make a clean ethical shot to ensure the animal does not suffer, and it also allows a physically impared hunter the opportunity to harvest an animal. In addition, it allows you to report to fish and game the number, size etc of the animals that reapond to the bait, which helps enable them to set quota's or close an area if it is overhunted to ensure the health and population fo the animals.

shoot safe

Don't use any bait for Black Bears.* It is unethical, and unsportsmanlike to do so.* It is illegal and against the Game Laws in Pennsylvania.*~ Hunt and Harvest game the natural, and ethical way.*~

Answer 8

Just go to the local grocer and ask them if you can take their expired bread, eggs, meats, fish, cookies, and so forth. They will probably be glad to find a way to be rid of it and you will make off with some free bait for bear hunting.

Answer 9

grain, molasses, and blueberries (if possible). No need to use any meat when baiting a bear (you can get real hurt bringing fresh or rotten meat into bear country)

Answer 10

Picnic baskets???????? LOL jk   I dont have a clue. I have never been bear hunting but have nothing against it.

Answer 11

Garbage. The more it smells the better the bate and yes rotting fish works well also.
