[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 955377, member: 30671"] Not out to change hearts or minds. Just relaying experiences. I have seen bear eat most of what you listed as "won't". Exception was mango I had to look it up, we never used mango. Most of what we know as baiters is from inference. We pick a theory when in reality other interpretations may be more correct. It's said bears stomachs take a while to wake up, bear don't just all get up all at once, and small volume depletion may be a numbers issue. The bear in a friends living room was killed first week of May, chowing down on a rotting horse carcass. Bear can leave a good bait for a lot of reasons, rut, killed, run off by other bear, found another bait, dug up an old winter kill, didn't like the human smell. I do think they prefer naturals, when available in plenty, and you're better off at the edges of what they're living on instead of far away. Keep in mind local regulations will dictate more of what can be used and how its applied these days. Illegal here in WA, MT etc. [/QUOTE]
