Thnx for your answers. Forgive me for not quoting and deleting your responses.
About the bear who sat on his haunches: I think you don’t have any idea of WHAT the bear was thinking.
Bear, Elk, Deer , Moose, Caribou et.al. are all wild animals. Many animals can be domesticated or almost. It’s surprising how some animals respond to care/kindness. However, wild animals are WILD and have turned on and killed their caretakers who actually loved them.
Wild animals WILL respond to feeding whether in captivity or not. I have used feeders for deer but NOT in sight of a deer stand.
I’m just not into baiting, but I’m not opposed to using bait where it’s legal. It’s not my cup of tea.
AFAIC we have a diff opinion about bears. I don’t see or consider them “special” or diff from other wild animals.
