bear bait recipe

[natvbearhntr]

I know this has probably been discussed 100's of times but when I tried the search the word bait came up in every post. I was just curious of anyone wants to share a bait mixture from material you can get at a feed mill? The only one I found was on youtube and it was dried oats with a real sticky sweet mixture dumped over the top of it. I was thinking of adding some corn to it and then maybe some dog food. I thought of trying something that might be a little more nutritious to the bear other that sweets?

Thanks

We buy 50 lb bags of popcorn and pop it into a garbage can with an air popper. The Bear love it and it's light to carry in.

I been buying shell corn. In Tomah I can get 100 lbs for under 16$. I mix the corn with peanut butter, pancake syrup, marshmallows, cheap candy, molasses and sugar. As the season gets closer I'm planning on adding other stuff I've been saving up in the freezer. I doubt my bait site is in the ideal spot but I don't care, my bait site was set there out of experimental curiousity. I also will be renting a bait site from a guide. According to the WI DNR, my bait site is in a spot where bears are not abandunt nor common. But 2 bears hit my bait so far. So I'm optimistic . Here is my Visa card

Go buy a bunch of that cheap Shasta pop in different flavors and mix it with oats or cracked corn. Whole corn is hard on a bear digestive tract and they get sick of it quick. They love that cheap pop. Old timer showed me that recipe. Used it as a filler

I have put 100 pound bags of corn at the bottom of my baits letting everything else drip down and mix with it... ALWAYS the last thing eaten. I quit doing that. I had some bulk mixed dog food and treats a couple years and they really did not get to excited over that either.
My best baits have been bread products. Donuts, cakes, and plain bread. But I add candy, syrups, bags of brown and white sugar, fruit, left overs, grease (not legal in Wisconsin) powdered coolaid, frosting, whole frozen carp, dogfood, fish inards and heads liquid smoke, honey (not legal in wisconsin) lard/bacon grease from camp ( again not legal here) etc...

They will find stuff they like at my baits. But really, the breads always seem to be the biggest hit, especially the donuts.

If I were baiting in Wisconsin it would be mainly donuts and bread cause of the limit you can put out.

Never having bear hunted these were not things I would have guessed that attracted bears...candy and pop corn who knew

Any grease from an animal is illegal. Used cooking oil from grain is legal. If I'm wrong, then I'm an outlaw.

If you use corn it has to CRACKED CORN. And it's really only god as a filler.
