Don't wait till the last minute to get bait. Start looking now especially if you have freezer space bread doughnuts are great. If you can find a restaurant or deli with oil tank out back that you can get used cooking oil start rounding up 5 gallon buckets.you can look draws over on google and start thinking about spots but alot of time your tied to what you can get to with snow pack. Camera is a must it will tell u whats coming in and when. Committ to the end of season lot of people give up in first 3 or 4 weeks because running bait can be allot of work. I hunt with 3 or 4 other guys and usually only one of us is after a bear but we all put in time, gas, and sweat. Its allot of fun watching some of the stuff bears do at bait sight.

Thanks for the info I am looking forward to this hunt glad i have people like you willing to help out. So all i do is just get a 55 gallon drum and put all the bait in it right?

Once you get bears hitting your bait the work begins. Have all your friends fill their tags, Idaho could use a few less bears. Baiting is super fun, not rocket science. Pick a good timbered drainage, set some horrible smelling fish or food, come back in a few days and shoot a bear. May not be exactly that easy, but it sure can be. Have fun!
