Oh, and crazy as it sounds, one of the best bear baits going is chainsaw oil.

Some friends are loggers, and the number 1 target of bears is their oil supply... they'll rip into it and drink it all like crazy.

And believe it or not, hot tub covers are also bear attractants. When they age/decompose, they give off the same chemical signatures as ant hills, so if you live in bear country, regularly wipe them down.

The more you know.
