Does anybody know of a bear lure that actually works? (not bait)

Unfortunately WA considers a lure as bait:

d) As used in this subsection, "bait" means a substance placed, exposed, deposited, distributed, scattered, or otherwise used for the purpose of attracting black bears to an area where one or more persons hunt or intend to hunt them.

(But if you’re in Idaho... ansise oil is great. Cherry Kool aid. Vanilla )

And whatever you do don't take a can of sardines in oil and tie some really light fishing line to the tab and half hitch it so the tab side will hang down and then toss it over a high branch and then slightly open it and pull it back up high and close to the branch and tie it off. Because what will happen is all the fishy smelling oil will drip down over time and no one ever looks up. But that would be considered baiting so don't do that unless you are in a state that allows bear baiting. That was told to me by an old Maine game warden by the way, lotta bears in Maine.
Swim hell, the fall will kill ya.
