Questions
How the products are used, how ordering works, and how to carry the line.
Using the products
How do I start a bait with Gold Rush?
Mix 1 to 2 oz. of Gold Rush into 5 gallons of used fryer grease and pour it at the site. Guides use 1 oz. in clean grease and 2 oz. in heavily used grease. Bears follow the butterscotch aroma to the barrel, often within hours.
Which spray scent should I use?
Anise or Butterscotch to open a site, a fruit scent like Blueberry or Raspberry once bears are coming in late summer, and Bacon or Beaver Castor as a cover scent while you sit. The scent finder on the spray page will pick one for your month and region.
How much powder goes on a bait?
A quarter to half a pound flavors 1,000 lbs. of bait when you mix it in. As a topper, a light shake over the pile each visit is plenty.
Where do I hang a Power Block?
High in a tree, or on a rope between two trees, out of a bear's reach. Rain and heat melt it slowly and the drip builds a scent pad underneath that bears dig into.
Is scent legal where I hunt?
Rules differ by state and province. Some places count liquid attractants toward the bait limit, some ban certain ingredients, and public land often has its own rules. Check the guide on this site and your agency's current regulations before the season.
