Hunt the wind, stay in the stand. Dusk and Dawn are great opportunities. Bears love corn! Yep +1. Catch one coming out of the corn going to cover right after first shooting light or set up at the edge of cover going into the corn at last shooting light. Set up on the trails.

I shot a bear off corn in vermont last year after my moose tag was filled. Walked around a couple corn fields and saw that damage and poop and barf, (yes, they are bulemic) and trails. Set up a pop up 15 yards from a trail and 4 hours later tagged a bear at 10 yards. As long as the corn is standing, it's a major magnet.

I met a farmer who has land adjacent to a State Park. He has cats and the bears are hanging around the house to eat cat food.
We may have a winner. Banning? Good spot. That's where I hunted some years ago--just to the east of the park. One of the biggest wolves I've ever seen was there a few winters ago standing on a bridge for a snowmobile trail. Big dark SOB with beady little eyes staring at me and my daughter.
Camp is where you make it.
