Disagree Bruce. There is basically no food value to grease. It's a good traing scent, thats all.a good "scent".

Would you walk a mile after the smell of a cheeseburger and only find the smell , and no reward will do it again
after doing it.?


All this smell stuff pees me off.
There better be foods" , yanno, something they can eat" when they get there.
All these liquid scents are nothing more then an initial attractant.

And EVERY SINGLE bear in the lower 48 that has a few years on it knows it.
I was using anise, gold rush, (long before it became a commercial product)

;), wouldn't doubt I was the very first to use it over 30 years ago. ( I found it by accident).
All these liquid scents do is initially start the bait and every older bear has " smelled there, done that".


Anything meat based better be fresh. Bears have gotta be dang near starving to eat meat once the flies find it.

I'd try the small oil sunflower seeds for the grain product. There is a reason people's birdfeeders get hammered.

I just got to thinking of the average size of the bears I've taken over the years. I have a couple of flyers on the high and low side but the average came out to about 280 pounds. That's hunting over bait and spot & stalk.

I think the average age is around ten.

So what was the gold rush . And were do you get it

Your above average.Most hunters I have guided the average would be around 150 pounds.If the hunter is happy I'm happy.
