[QUOTE="axe3761, post: 637033, member: 14338"] heres what i do for my stink baits... i pick up every tulobee and dog fish and fish carcasses i can get my hands on from ice fishing. i then put a few in plastic pails with about 2 gals water or fill em full of snow when i pail em up. sealed, they sit untill i get them into the bait site where i dig a small hole so the lid is sticking up out of the ground. i then poke as many small holes with an ice pic as i can in the lid before i can't stand the stank anymore. i put on a steel cover made from an old expansion tank from an old boiler that has the dish in the ends.. i cut it in half and cut crosses into the dish part so the rain water keeps it wet and the small ice pic holes let the water in but keeps the flies out. i weld a couple tabs on the tank end with holes cut in em big enough to slide a re-bar shaft cut on an angle then pound em into the ground about 3-4 feet. they can't get them out of the ground no how. lol. these stink for weeks and you only gotta do it once. use your fryer grease for pouring all the way around your barrel and down the trails they use so when they come in they get it on their fur and drag it out with them down the diff trails they use so other bears that might not smell your bait will smell the grease on the trail. let the bears do the work for you. they go places you won't and that grease stays with em a long time. hard to beat beavers for bait but hard to get enough to rely on those to make it to the end of the hunt. doughnuts work well but just as hard to get as the beavers, they last forever. lol. if you use meat scraps, make sure you keep it fresh...well as fresh as you can get anywho. i notice a lot of guys put their baits in light cover...big mistake. get your bait into the darkest, thickest spruce you can find, hopefully close to water. they are wary to expose themselves in daylight but feel safe in dark spruce. giving you more shooting light before legal time because they are coming in earlier. hope this novel, lol, helps out some new bear hunters harvest a bear this spring. one last tip...get or make a good trail camera and use it. you can see whats coming in and when. its gonna save you tons of time by not sitting on a bait that has a sow with cubs at heel. you might as well pull that bait. lol. you won't be shooting her or cubs and she will chase ANYTHING that come near her newborns. yearling cubs are another story...they will be getting kicked out as soon as she comes into season(breeding) and you can use her to pull in the big boars in early june. hides will be rubbed but you will see the big guys then.
