How to Become A Bear Hunter

Beginner’s guide to becoming a woodsman, renaissance man & bear hunter

Mistake #1 - Not enough variety in bait

Variety is the spice of life, and it’s also a key to a good bear bait. Bears are like humans, they’ve got individual preferences. I once heard of a bear that despised lemon-flavored pies so much that he raked his tongue with his paws. A bear’s goal is to “get fat quick.” Having multiple bait options in different categories creates nothing but positive outcomes. Sometimes people get locked into one type of bait that they can get in large quantities. A bear will hit one single item, but they’ll hit it longer, and they’ll be a better chance he’ll be there on opening day if your bait is diverse.
