They got more trail mix today. Picked up a barrel along with a few bags of gummies, 40 pounds of donut frosting, 40 pounds of chocolate icing, blueberry spray scent, and bacon spray scent. Just gotta decide what to use for filler now.

I figured the bears love berries and it'd be a free option to provide for a base since they ripen in August, add in some bread and top it off with pie filling or some sort of sweet. Thought I'd try a bait like that when I go to Minnesota in the next year or two, be something different that others may not use and keep a site active?

They'll rake apples up in a pile down south and lay on them and gorge themselves. Comical to see pics of on trail cams.

I've tried apples before and some ate them and others didn't. It seems bear are allot like humans. What one bear likes the other doesn't. I would be interested in trying peaches.

Watermelons, work good. Find a veggie stand. Ask for the rotten stuff.
