Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to use bear bait in Minnesota?

Yes, bear baiting is legal in Minnesota with a valid bear hunting license and adherence to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) regulations. You can typically start placing bait two weeks before the hunting season opens. Always follow current DNR guidelines for legal baiting distances, bait site registration, and approved bait types.

What’s the best bear bait for Minnesota black bears?

Minnesota black bears respond best to sweet, high-calorie baits like granola, cookies, and nut mixes. Adding a strong scent attractant, like our signature spray scents, increases your success rate. Rotating bait types and using trail cameras help pattern bear behavior for more effective hunts.

Do you offer bulk bait for outfitters or guides?

Yes, we specialize in bulk bear bait sales for guides, outfitters, and serious hunters. Volume discounts are available. Contact us directly for custom orders or recurring supply schedules.

When should I start baiting for bear hunting?

The best time to start baiting is exactly 14 days before your bear hunting season begins, which is when it becomes legal in Minnesota. Starting early helps establish your bait site and draw in consistent bear traffic.

What makes your bear bait better than others?

We only sell proven, high-attractant bait mixes that are freshly sourced and stored to retain scent and flavor. Our baits are:

  • Field-tested in Minnesota bear country

  • Designed for long-range scent dispersion

  • Easy to handle and store

  • Affordable for both weekend hunters and professional guides

Can I pre-order bear bait for the season?

Yes! We offer pre-order options for hunters who want to reserve bear bait ahead of the season. This ensures product availability, especially for high-demand items like sweet mixes, fryer oil, and bulk attractants. Contact us early to secure your order.

Do you offer any field tips for first-time bear hunters?

Yes! Here are a few beginner-friendly bear hunting tips:

  • Always play the wind — bears will circle downwind before approaching.

  • Use quiet gear and unscented clothing to stay hidden.

  • Don’t check your site too often — minimize pressure.

  • Use a trail camera to monitor activity and adjust baiting times.

  • Evening hunts tend to be most productive in Minnesota.

Do scents and sprays actually work for bear hunting?

Absolutely. Scent attractants like anise oil, bacon grease, blueberry spray, or licorice oil help carry the smell of your bait hundreds of yards away. Bears have an exceptional sense of smell and will often follow scent trails to your bait site.
