Your current set up will work just fine.
But just be aware that your open to the world and quantities used will be higher.
Also the visiting varmints will be tripping your cameras a lot more. Like I stated earlier anything and everything works for bears. As you go forward you may start tinkering like we all do to get different results - Like bait saving, varmint proofing, or just targeting certain sizes of bears. The set-ups are only limited to your imagination. Some days the bears will make you look like a genius and then they'll turn it around and make you feel like a dummy! |

Like you ... I'm having a hard time finding bait ...Bread and Timmies have all but dried up so I seek other sources to keep them coming. The feed concoction was just something to keep them coming back once the good stuff was gone.
The great thing about feed is that they can't carry it away. The finisher does have dried molasses in it but I always add some cheep pancake syrup and Crosby's molasses to sweeten the pot. That big hole allows them to just lay there and eat away.
Keep in mind ...Skeeter's bait is a bazillion miles away so he needs to make it last as long as possible. For us frequent baiters , as long as we can get out every three or four days to put out bait we're good. Now Skeeter is out for the Big Boys who have a tendency to be bait shy, so for someone like myself wanting to harvesting a 200 lb bear for the table is a lot easier.
Now comes the big discussion on how frequently to bait. To harvest a big Bear ..."Less is Best". These guys get old and big for a reason. They're leary of any scent or changes to the baiting structure. If you don't get these bears the first night or two chances are you'll have lots of after dark pics on the Tcams.
For people like myself, I forgo the frustration of trying to outwit those bruisers at there own game. However should one happen in to my site for the first time and I have an opportunity ... lets just say " Momma never raised no fool ". My observation has been that 250 lb bears are still quite brazen and will push subordinate bears off the bait and be less worried about that blob in a tree. I also subscribe to the theory that by frequent baiting the bears get used to your scent , so when it drifts off the tree stand they are not as spooked about it. When they walk up to your stand ...Look up ... and walk to your bait .. that's a sign.
We've all had different experiences so ...that's Just my 2 Cents worth !

So the beef builder has been working great. Last a lot longer then bread and after playing around a bit adding a few additional things I've found one they love. Had a fairly decent sized one show up last week and has been in everyday since. Have a video of him that I will try to add later on.

I've run into that problem before as well Mack11 .. I still haven't figured it out. Maybe one of the other members can help us out !
Have you tried uploading on Imgur? Not sure if that would make a difference.

Still can't figure out how to add video. Keeps saying to big. Sat tonight for 4.5 hrs. Had about a 150lber in. Waiting for the big fella. Great to see bears but not the one I want.

I don't know for sure but it may have to do with the camera resolution. I think High resolution creates a bigger file ... but that's only a guess. You may have to sacriface some picture quality
Been down that road a good many times Mack11 !
Patience Grasshopper ...Patience !
You never know when a new shooter might decide to pay you a visit!
