[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 546285, member: 313"] My opinion is that BEAR SMELL EVERYTHING and that they detect you in the stand. If they know you're there they will wait until dark before taking the chance at the bait. Do whatever you can to reduce your smell. Last week I stayed in a baited stand well past dark, I could barely see the sow and cubs as they headed to the bait which was only 20 yds away. I never saw or heard the sow as she approached my ladder stand. When the stand pulled down abruptly from her weight I knew exactly what was happening. I had sprayed myself, head to toe, with Scent Shield before entering the woods. It was very dark and I hadn't made a sound. I was shocked that the bear still detected me 14" high in the stand. BEAR SMELL EVERYTHING! [/QUOTE]
