In Maine years ago an old guide used fryalator grease mixed with oats. Twinkie's work pretty well also. Would add annis to the mix. Pluse he would alway put enough grease on the ground so that anything that hit his bait would get it on their feet and would track the grease thru the woods attracting any other bears in the area.

Its basically a hit and miss situation. Maine allowed baiting 1 month before the season. The would set out baits and see which ones got hit. They got refreshed. Usually the ones that were not hit got moved to the are where there was activity.

Its not easy work. You just cannot drive your 4 wheeler to a bait sit. You have to hump it in. Rubber boot and rubber gloves are a must. When it 90 degrees outside and the skeeters and active it can become like a lot of work.
