Things I do to bait bears

..............I take 2 five gallon cans of bait every time I go. I use only Hostess twinkies, cupcakes etc and bread. I stay away from rotten meat. I get my Hostess from the Hostess store. They usually sell me the old stuff really cheap. I will also try and get day old doughnuts. I put the two cans of food in the drum then I take and turn the hole down to the ground to keep birds out of it. Then I take The biggest logs I can get and cover  my can in a teepee type style. I do this so that at a distance I can see if my can has been hit. Then I take big marshmallows and put them on tree branches and sticks and all over the place. Then I burn honey. I take 1 gallon of honey and an empty coffe can and a single propane burner. I pour a couple cups at a time in the can and burn it. Right at the end of the burn you will get thick black smoke. That is what you are after. That smoke sticks in the trees and every time the wind blows it will blow that sweet smell all over the valley you are in. At the end of the burn you will have a black honey comb in the bottom of the can. with your pliers just turn the can over and knock out the honey comb making sure not to start a fire. And then you burn some more. I do this till I have burnt the gallon up. .............
