Sorry, I forgot to add. Dog food works.
My hunting partner got a black bear on the first day this year.

And you can usually get them for nothing or next to nothing.
Draws every bear for as far as they can smell them.

id be prone to use things like carp and other invasive fish I don't eat. I've heard donuts work well

I like to get started a couple of weeks before the hunt. Donuts work great if you can get them. This year I bought bread, pancake syrup, sardines and white sugar and dumped it all into a barrel about 30 yards from my stand. I ended up shooting my bear about 100kms from that spot as I walked leisurely through the forest with my rifle. My bait was very active, though. If you can bait once a week leading up to the season and then every other day when hunting. You should score. When you're setting up your bait/stand, just pay special attention to where the sun is setting so it isn't glaring in your eyes and watch that the prevailing winds aren't blowing your scent toward the bait. Go hammer'em.
Tough to beat and a lot of trappers here save them for that purpose. Bear works as well, bears don't mind eating their fellows. Cooking oil from your local fast food and the list goes on.
Donuts, dead chickens, old fry oil, fish of any variety....anything smelly. Also...so they keep coming back even if they get all the food before you can replace it, molasses in those plastic woven feed bags hung in the tree. You can buy it bulk from feed stores for horses and they usually give you the bags as well. It will seep through the bag and drip on the ground. Lasts for weeks and keeps them coming back. Just make sure the bag is out of reach.
Good luck!

Not mine. It was pretty flimsy. It was sheathed in black joe because he had already had the bears bust up a not too bad one.
I'm not big on bear hunting but I've got a Buddy who collects old freezer burnt food from peoples freezers to toss in the bait barrels. He claims its as good as anything else he's ever used, and has been doing it for close to forty years. Who am I to argue? I just donate old inedible stuff from my freezer.
