Has anyone here ever used a scent or lure to hunt black bear? I see that there are many products such as the Bear Bomb,Deer Stix Bear lure and others. Has anyone here have any sort of luck using them? In addition, I have heard of some people using what is called a honey burn. I'd appreciate your help.

I've heard good things about the bear bomb but all such things are illegal in Oregon now. I used to have good luck just saving bacon grease before the season and when I'd go out I'd warm it up back to a liquid and poor it on a stump. I've had several bears come in that way.

Be sure to consult your state's laws before using anything that could be termed a bait, or "attractant" for bears. Most states that do not allow hunting over bait, usually have restrictive laws re: bear lures. If it is legal in your area, I would definitely recommend using a commercial or home made preparation.
I believe that one manufacturer (I think it is bear bomb") now offers the Honey Burn scent.

In Oregon we can't bait but we can put scent on ourselves. I just don't feel comforable hanging a lbs of bacon around my neck that is half rotten.LOL
We can make our own scent and put it in a spray bottle and spray it all over us or on a rag and hang the rag on our clothes.
I prefer calling them in then having something stinky on me.

if baiting was legal in washington I would us grease(bacon or cooking) and dog food and hang a 5 gallon bucket of molasas with some very small holes poked in the sides and then every time I would go back cut another hole lower down the side.then before i hunted I would put out some bear crack (mashmellows cherry jello maple surup and old grease cook and dump on new dog food and leave the pot for them to play with)I would have my trail cam out so I could tell when they where coming and what kinda bear was there.Of couse only if it was legal

Mix anice(grocery store near spices)and cinnamon with some water. I carry it in a bottle, when I get there, I put some on a rag in a couple places up high.I think it is more of an attractant than food.Deer like it also

before baiting became illegal here in Oregon I would just pour bacon grease over a dead stump and have them coming in around camp. I've just started using a drag pad like you would for deer only soaked in bacon scent. I know it may sound a little crazy but I figure a bear probably isn't going to charge me from behind just because he smells bacon but I carry my short barreled 475 in my hand while walking to a stand to start calling just in case I get one that is a little over zealous.

Rod, what do you mean by "drag pad" ?

they are the little cotton fiber pads they use for whitetail hunting, you can drag them or hang them from a tree, you can also use a piece of cloth but the pads seem to hold more scent and the hold it longer. They come with a string and I just use a safety pin and pin it to my boot lace and it drags about a foot or two behind me.
