BWCA Bear Hunting -Need tips/help

[Adirondacks]

Can't really help with hot spots but
we can't bait here either. We've found
that the biggest thing is to cover
ground. A bear will
try to sit tight till you just about
step on it. Literally.
Dig em out of the thick crap adjacent
to food. Around here that usually means
swamps by a landfill.

Setting up in the afternoon is the
best time. During the day I wouldn't
bother setting on stand.
