Evening folks,
Well, I've been dropping some apples for the past three weeks near a trail that I have my ground blind set to go. The trail is very active with deer going up to a ridge from the lower bedding area. Today we noticed that a bear has come in leaving to business cards (piles) after taking some of the apples. Having little experience with this, I could use some advice. I have two weeks before I head out to hunt. I would like to salvage the blind location. Thanks in advance for the advice.
Andre

I have never tried this, but I heard once upon a time that you could stop a bear from coming to an area by "knocking him out". The idea was, take a can of ether (Qucik Start from Candian Tire), coat it in peanut butter, and when the bear finds it and bites it it will make him pass out. When he wakes up he will be confused and not want to go back to that spot.
Like I said, I heard this from an older hunter and have never seen it done, but I guess it could work.

I hunt for memories, the meat's a bonus!
