No need to wait for any Forest ruling or lack thereof on that one. Yup. That goes in a bear resistant container or hung, too. Personal toiletries with scents, medicines with food like scents (tums, cough medicine, etc.). Basically anything a bear can smell and take (or mistake) for food. |

No need to wait for any Forest ruling or lack thereof on that one. Nope not what I mean. Like I said I use Garcia bear barrels. Last year the forest service ruled that bait and such has to be hung. Thats what I mean as I do have scented lures. |
