Question for the experts that have done it. I got a spot that holds good bears year round. Bait site is not fresh right now. Season ends 31 Oct. You think I could crank up the site and get one?

Not a expert and haven't done it either but you would think that if there are still bears in the area that they will be attracted to those jelly donuts and sweets that would be placed in a bait site.

You have to figure that they are packing on the calories and won't pass up a free easy meal.

I would have to agree. Give it a try. If there is bears in the area no reason they won’t hit it.
They are eating hard right now putting on weight for the winter.

Go for it. Especially if you have baited it in the past. You should be able to pull some bears, as you get closer to the end of the month the smaller bears or ones looking for that last easy meal will show. The biggest thing is to get a lot of scent in the air, so they know there is food again.
