I have this bear around my bait all the time. He keeps setting off my traps over and over, but I can never seem to catch him. Any advice?

This depends on what time in the year you are hunting.

For spring hunting i always find a place with dense cover around rivers, ponds and woods roads. This is where the bears are going to be travelling early in spring looking for the first green vegetation to grow. This in there primary food source early in spring. when June rolls around they are going to be moving a lot looking for mates. I place my baits in the thickest cover i can find because the bear will feel very comfortable and come feed on my bait all day long. I find if u place ur bait along the side of a cut over or bog they wont come in until last light. Personally i like thick stands of large spruce with mossy ground, i find the bears will live rite at the bait site only leaving when i come to place bait. The most important thing about getting bears to initially hit ur bait is to make as big a stink as u can possibly make. I find rotting fish does a good job of this.

 

In the Fall find the berries find the bears. look for areas with lots of blueberries and partridge berries and ull find bear sigh. Tuck a bait away in this area and they will come. like i said earlier thick shady woods where the bear will feel comfortable all day. only thing is fall hunting is harder to keep them coming consistently because they have so much other food to be eating. 

hope this helps!!!

Anyone have any advice as to where some good places to set my bear bait. Like habitat, deep in the woods, in a clearing? What are some good places that are more likely to get hit?

I havent baited in a few years but found take out grease to be all you needed...they will drink the whole bucket so try to be creative in ways to make it last

Thanks for the advice John. Like Pierce, I'm new to bear hunting, and really appreciate the advice.

Has anyone tried using Black Bear attractor scents, like Huntmaster Black Bear Sow in Heat Urine?

New to Bear hunting, any tips would greatly be appreciated.

Did some scouting around, but never seen a sign, not good, lol.

This is the bear I got this year oct. 28. Please don't pay any attention to the date on the picture I did'nt realize it was'nt set. I think it must of been in hibernation a few years.
