You burn it at your bait site. It produces a thick smoke that carries real far and smells delicious to bears. Pour the molten goo on a log or tree and it will act as a sweet candy lick. Many hunters have used this in Idaho and other places.

 

i was always told to cook it at the bait site....with an arrow knocked....because sometimes the bears dont wait until your done cooking :wink:

 

Thanks for the answers. I ran hounds for years but this is the first year for baiting.

 

Has anyone ever used this? I always hear people saying they heard it works great but never heard of anyone that has first hand knowledge. I don't want to go out cooking that muck to find out it works as well as the deerview mirror.

 

what is bear crack?? Is it something that is store bought or home made?? Where do you get it??

 

fill a pot half full of marshmellows, add a pound of sugar, quart of syrup, and a pack of powder jello(any flavor). Bring to a boil for five minutes and pour onto barrel or logs. I first saw it on Eatmans Hunting Journal show and looked it up on the internet.

 

It's a recipe someone posted on here one time. I have no idea how they came up with that concoction though.

 

here it is

It's a damn shame, isn't it. I never even thought about it, what is happening to me!

 

I have arrested a ton of people with real crack on them...I wonder if you could get a bear addicted to that?

 

Back to being serious for a sec.... does anyone know if this is legal in NY??? It seems more like a homemade scent, along the lines of the smoking stick than bait to me.

On with the comments now boys....
