I buy the cheapest dog food I can find and use that mixed with used frying oil I get for free from a restaurant. On top of that, I collect all my bacon grease year round and use it to "start" my bait by spreading it all over my bait barrels and trees and adding several large bags of juice crystals spread all over the place. They love this combo and they get that oil all over their paws and track that stuff for miles which attracts more bear...
This set up gets me bears on the bait normally within a day or two and keeps somewhere around 3 to 5 large bears (and several smaller ones) attracted until I find one to shoot.
