I got my Maine buck last yr in a Ameristep ground blind. was a 9 pointer that topped the scales at 210 pounds. I love using them as you can set them up in minutes and make little or no noise. John

I made it to Life before I moved over to an Explorer post and did Search and Rescue. In my high school years my father and I set up a Boy Scout troop in my home town and to this day it is still going strong. John

Before moving to NC this summer, I guided bear hunters in the great state of Maine. I always used donuts,breads,oats,grease and beaver meat. I feel you give the bears a variety and they will return to the bait site daily for the free food. Like what was stated previous, pour grease around the area and the bears will leave a scent trail exiting the site which in turn will bring more bears to your area. Also, use a backer of some sort so the bear has to present itself in order to get to the feed. Nothing worse then feeding a few bears that can sit in brush and feed freely. Good Luck, John
