In Oregon, we cannot use bait or dogs to hunt bear. The rules specifically say scent only. I've heard corn works well as far as bait goes, but since we can't use bait, I was thinking about using the juice from canned corn. Any other suggestions on scents or other methods>

Go to the spice section in the grocery store and get a bottle of oil of anise. It is the flavoring in black licorice candy and bears love the stuff. When I lived in Ak the stores was always sold out in the spring and summer 'cause of bear hunters. You can put this stuff in a spray bottle and spray it around or use a scent wick. They also love the smell to cooking bacon. One of my AK buds got his brownie when it came to the smell of breakfast cooking.

My first bear was heading strait for my buddies Honey burn. I decided not to burn that day, but could smell my buddies burn. He was far away from me and I could smell. it. I made a stove with sterno and a coffee can. and put honey and anise oil in a smaller veggie can.
