Not every area is the same, I just happen to live in a very high populated area for bears.
I agree. If you don't get a hit in 3 days, its time to move the bait.
I'm actually in the process of fine tuning a bait location with minimal bait. I'm running three scent stations with minimal bait in an effort to triangulate the core area of a larger boar. It is an effective way to cover a lot of ground and find the best spots in less than ideal bear habitat or habitat not easily broken down by aerial/topo.
