I have just found out that their is a very small population of bears near where I live, two sightings in the last year. I know to find them I am probly going to have to put out a big stinky pile of bait to get them to come in to run them. My question is that if i get lucky and they start hitting the bait, and i can get my young dogs to go, is it a on e shot deal or will these bears keep coming in to the bait after being run. I am not talking every day but once a week or maybe even every two. My bear experince is little, I have read alot, but all I've had luck with since I've started is a few coon and a bobcat. so I was woundering.

The bear will keep hitting day after day. Pretty much the same bear hit certain baits that are in their home area. If you run them hard they may not hit again that night but will be back again in a day or two.

no doubt you can catch the same bear off the same bait during a single season. If you keep the bait established year after year, you can run some of the same bears year after year.
