[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 754232, member: 313"] My favorite black bear outfitter uses a 1/2 barrel with no top or bottom. It's basically a steel ring. He places a steel grate (similar to the material used on a food store cart) with a wood stick through it for support. An ordinary heavy rock is placed on the grate to prevent coyote, coons, etc from getting to the bait. Fresh meat scraps are used for bait exclusively. Only a few pieces of bait are put in the can when baiting so the bears must continue to return if they want more fresh meat. Rain can just run out the bottom so water is never collected in the bait. Bait cans can be checked from a distance because if the can isn't overturned then there is no reason to approach the can. An overturned can is always encouraging to the incoming hunter. [/QUOTE]
