to tell you the truth . theirs not not much that want work on black bears .when you or baiting.. but that said ..if you have been baiting much at all . you will have all ready noticed .that some bear's just like different things.////so what is a sure fire killer at one stand.. may only be so so at the next..some times it's best to offer 4 or more different things at the baiting stand.then just key into what that bear seem's to want at that time at that place..one more thing you may want to add to your set up.would be marking trees. yea thats right..if your like me i really like to watch them .and only go for a bigger bear now days.. so to help you tell which one of your stands has a big bear comeing in.what i have done in years past was take pennut butter or lard and rub this on a couple tree's at the baiting place.. normally.i would end up with teeth marks in the -lard or pennut butter .as most bears sooner or later will bite into it. now if your looking for a big bear .one thing for sure he will have a large mouth.so all you have to do is .look at his 2 large canine teeth.they will stand out. rule i go buy is ---if it is around 1 3/4 inch between these 2 teeth you or looking at a normal male or female bear .which can be any where from 150 lb up to 275 lb.. but if the canine's or 2 inch to 2 3/8 you or on to a really big bear ..and if you ever find one 2- 1/2 ''or larger..???? well all i can say is your on to one ever bit as big as the grizzly.... hope this helps you ..donnie knight
