That is freaking clever

And it's extremely clean.  It would  be a good thing to try in Idaho.

The Idaho bears I deal with are spoiled  :chuckle: they might whack that thing around a bit but they would be over the hill to the next pile of donuts in a heartbeat. No way they would screw around with that for very long. It might work where the woods are not covered with jelly donuts ha ha. I have had things exactly like that at my bait but the bears wanted the real buffet instead!

My husband and I found that exact same thing this last weekend - maybe even that exact same spot! There were 2 satellite trail cams set up near there, one facing the bait. We were wondering if that was even legal.

I’ve ran bait piles to get pictures of bears, nothing illegal with that. I just am lazy and throw fruit or dead stuff.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

I wasn't sure all the ins and outs of baiting bears or other large carnivores for purposes of trail camera pics so I dug that up to read it over.   Hope it helps.

I don't bait, but I do put out alternative food sources when my fruit trees start getting hammered, or other tree damage is found. It's just long enough to get me past picking, then I stop.

I never get upset or care if someone is baiting bears. It is illegal so I wouldn’t do it, but it’s legal to bait deer and elk, I can’t imagine wdfw would even care, except for that fact that it’s state law.... just let the guy bait his bear if he wants to and leave him alone.

If I found empty sacks of cheap dog food, garbage bags, plastic from various bread and pastry wrappings, empty doughnut boxes etc etc... 
it would irritate me enough to report it, not so much due to the bear baiting but the slobbery of it all.

The bigger question is how many jolly ranchers does it take to fill a bundt pan..seems like alot of work.

Too long that is not a very effective way to bait and hold bears in an area if there’s a lot of other food sources around. Might be interesting to try next to a normal bait pile but not worth the effort imho. Oh what the heck I will try it this fall and report back ha ha. I would have a hard time reporting that a a bear “bait” especially since it’s in a berry patch which I think the bears would be more attracted too

Indian Tribes that can hunt Mt Baker-Sno national forest are allowed to set bear bait sites but there are also numerous Regs that we’re not followed in that pic it it was one
