- In this video I will go in depth on how to bait bears and including some major considerations you must make for a successful harvest. My first ever video on youtube was on this subject but since then I've gotten more comfortable on camera and am including more info to help you get that bear you want.
I talk about my 4 types of bait I use, Main, sweet, sting and smear. and I show the process on how to set everything up!
I Hope you enjoy!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I don’t hunt but I have land in West Virginia and bait bears just so I can get them on trail camera.
Good video, thanks!!!
You're very welcome
That was really great and I enjoyed the humor! 😂 thank you so much!
😄 glad you did!
Nice looking bears some great info backwoods thanks for shareing be safe
Great video. Thank for the tips. Getting ready for my first bear hunt and this was the most useful video I have come across. Much appreciated!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Best of luck!
Awesome information man, really appreciate it!
Thank you for watching!
I do everything pretty much the same except for stink bait. I use old fryer grease on the ground and black liquorice bear gel on the trees. I also add vanilla to my spray. Keep it up!
Yeah here in this province all fryer grease gets taken by the government for bio fuel so its hard to get any around. If any small place is willing to give it up its already claimed. Cheers!
Great information!
Another awesome video, very useful information that I will use on my next bear season, Im not sure that I will be eating and drinking from my bait supply though! Hope you film your buddy taking a bear this fall!
Unfortunately he is using my site with another friend who haven't been hunting in years. So I excluded myself from the guest list to allow them to enjoy the process together. However if he calls me up to retrieve it maybe i'll get footage if that
Great video! I just saw your post on the NL Bear Hunting Facebook group. I'm new to this and have no experience but I'm excited to try the techniques you use. Thanks!
Sorry for the long delayed reply me buddy. I missed it. I hope you had a successful hunt
Well i been taking notes for next spring hehehe thanks dude for the video. Bear hunting has been on my bucket list for a while and it might be happening in spring 🤞🏻
Awesome! Well good luck and come back and let me know how you done!
Great video
Thank you!
Great video on the bear 🐻 baiting buddy 😊
Thanks! Appreciate that
What an awesome video. I am just getting into bear hunting and this is by far one of the best informative videos, I've viewed so far. Thanks you for all the information. I am so looking forward to getting out this Spring, and bettering my odds with your tips. 👍😁
Awesome. Happy to help. Message me if you have any questions on it. I'll be happy to help
@@DanielSturge I will message you for sure. Honestly your video was so informative, it answered a lot of my questions already. If I can think of anything that is relevant to my location for a bait sight I will definitely message you and asks questions. Thank you so much. I own 80 acres with a creek and a pond, and a few hundred acres of crown land around me. I plan on putting my bait station in the vicinity of my pond which is further away from my house. I am so looking forward to getting out there, and setting up a couple of trail cameras, once the snow makes it possible for me to get back in my woods. 👍🙏🏾👍
@@NTycingProductions keep me updated
@@DanielSturge I will for sure. Thanks again for your tips. 👍
@@NTycingProductions how did it go?
Gonna finally try my hand this fall in Michigan and really appreciate the tips. I did see a guy say he uses old mesh potato bags to put his stink bait in.
Yeah that will totally work. I had it in a chicken feed bag which is water resistant.
Thanks great video
You are welcome. Thank you for watching!
Great video! I am going to try this next spring. I shot my first bear last spring and going to try and do it myself next year.
You should! Reach out if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help
Thanks!
Awesome bud ! Excellent tutorial and tips !! Thanks for sharing this great information . Stay safe stay healthy
Thanks man! You too. Last day here for me and the living off the land survival challenge! I'll be happy to get something other than raccoon squirrels or grouse in me stomach haha
Backwoods Barbarian I’ll bet !! Looking forward to the series bud .!
@@DanielSturge do a video on how to find a stand
@@jordanlittle5391 you mean like a location to put one or to find someone's elses?
@@DanielSturge lol if you pointed me to someones elses that would be wierd but then again id get a bear with no work. but no a video on what you look for to establish a site
Nice bear
I saved a gallon of huckleberrys and made a hard candy block with a chain in it to chain it to a tree, keep them licking for hours
Great idea!
I’m in a new area in northern Maine. I’m having trouble getting bears to my bait I think it’s because they are use to others bait nearby. I’m going to put some sweet bait high in the trees like you did to help get their attention. I like the beef finisher idea so I’m going to try that too.
Awesome. Good luck and hope you are successful! Come back and let me know how you fair out. Having too many hunters feeding the same bears means you got to give them somthing they want more of. The beef finisher and some sweets might do the trick. Some quality high carb foods and sugar is exactly what they need as the are ramping up for spring and ultimately hibernation. In a couple weeks breeding will be over too which will change their range and movements. They should be more consistent on bait in a few weeks.
Bear made a really big comeback here in Arkansas after almost being totally eradicated in the late 1800's. This will be the first Bear hunt in my County that I ever heard of and I am 66. I have never Bear hunted but SO want to take one before going to that Great Hunting Place. The Question i have is this : We have a LOT and I mean a LOT of Hogs running wild for years, HOW do I keep them out of the Barrel ? I mean, They will knock down deer feeders, rear up on trees and such to get to bait. Also, what is the best caliber rifel for Bear. No archery season here yet.
As for caliber I personally use a 30-06 or 12 gauge slug. As for keeping hogs out I am no expert as we don't have any hogs where I live but I would suggest elevating the food by securing it about 4 feet up a tree or in a way the bears can easily climb to it. Out of reach of hogs is still in reach for bears so I would capitalize on that.... however as I said I don't have any experience with hogs. Here we have wolves but they won't eat sweets. So that's one reason I use sweet baits too.
Good luck brother - I'm a couple years behind you.
How did it go?
Narry a Bear. I'm just not close enough to where they are right now and I refuse to pay over $1,000 per year to hunt a 3 thousand acre lease.@@DanielSturge
Fair enough. I wouldn't pay that either. I hope you get to someday. Blessings
Yooo look at the views look at you go!!!!
I just love your sence of humor. Was not expecting that. Lol.
How many pounds of bait do you typically go through in a season?
4 bags of beef finisher and 4 whole corn with a 25kg of popcorn. I adjust my amount depending on activity. I still have about 2/3 a bag of corn and finished left after 2 bears this year. I also substitute table scraps as well earlier on when doing too get or increase activity. Then when game on the finisher is whats going to give you a great tasting bear. I'll feed them that for at least a week.
@@DanielSturge I like that finisher idea a lot. Whenever I'm able to get back to the bear woods for a hunt, I'll probably use that same technique.
Great video!
@@tomkeltescheverythingoutdo2379 thanks brother!
Awesome video! I'm going out baiting for my first time today. How often do you put bait out?
Depends on traffic anywhere from couple times a week to every day
Baitem 907 has some really good scents and smear baits
I'll have to checkem out. Thanks
@@DanielSturge the spray attractants u can make yourself for cheaper but they have a waterproof smear paste and I can smell it 75yards away from the barrel
@@MatthewSmith-tg4wk nice!
Great video. Where do you get the popcorn online?
Amazon is one place you can
You must have the 6 pack ads video?? How long do you bait them for before season? Man there is some nice size bear up your way.
Haha. We can start 2 weeks out but from experience its best to wait until snow is almost all gone.
Great video! What site do you order the floor swept popcorn from?
Amazon.
Bulk barn will sinfulness have stuff as well
Getting everything together to set up my first bear bait site. What diameter would you suggest for the big holes on the side of the barrel?
Dinner plate size. about 10-12 inches across.
@@DanielSturge Many thanks.
Anytime!
Is 600 m in either direction to far from water? Lots of poop in the area
No. Generally you want to be closer but that's not too bad. Especially if there is already signs in the area with lots of poop it means you find a good area where they pass through probably daily. And the days are not as hot now leading into fall so they are more likely using the water source to drink instead of cooling down. Come back and let me know how your hunt goes! Good luck!
How often do you bait?
Every 3-4 days to check. Then once you get activity, every day. If you can't do every day, you leave enough so they don't run out and move on.
Do you think this bait would work in the south/ Arkansas?
100%
I live in Northern Canada, but I like pizza and chicken wings as much as anyone down there! Haha, bears are no different.
What was the mix on the sweet spray
If I remember it was kool-aid, syrup, apple juice and brown sugar.
@@DanielSturge thanks
@@johngill603 anytime!
dog food and cherry kool aid works well
I use to use dog food but it is very expensive compared to popcorn and the popcorn fills them up but they get hungry again quick so it keeps them close by.
Whats your instagram handle? And how do you figure out your prevailing wind?
I actually got rid of my install and FB. Brought too much nonsense to my life. For prevailing winds, any local weather station, airport, or sometime you can get it online.
