I have had bears coming in almost every day so I have started hunting all day and night. I have had one come in but didn't get a shot. Had two more yesterday come in about 50 yds out and wouldn't come to the bait. Nothing has actually been on the bait in two days. Have put a bunch of 907's stuff all over dog food but havent put more dog food out in about four days. Should I put more dog food out? Have been doing honey burns too. Could they have maybe winded me and just won't come in? I figure the more time in the stand the better chances I have but starting to wonder if I am doing something wrong?

No matter what you do, they usually know you're in there. You have to be absolutely still when you go in. I like leaving lots of scent every time I go to bait- get them used to my smell. Sweaty shirts, bug dope, pee in the area. The key seems to be, don't move! Nothing sudden, at least. Usually the longer you sit the more fidgety you'll get, so sitting longer can be counter productive. Good luck- it'll happen!

I've had similar experiences...knowing good and well they are in the area, but won't come in to the site. Something you could try is, bring a partner into the site with you and have them refresh the bait/loiter around a little while you get into your stand. Once you are set up, have your partner leave the area on the same trail you normally would, while you stay in your stand (and stay dead still). I've seen this work several times when the bears seem to be hung up.
