c. 1 can of wet dog food
d. few scoops of fudge
e. 1 to 2 gallons of blueberry pie filling
f. 2 to 4 loafs of bread

Bait
I don't know. Looks good to me. You could try advertising again. Bacon or honey burn.
If there are any acorns near where your hunting. You might just have to be patient.
Not much help I know. But atleast, you know the bigger bears are the last ones to den.
Good luck!

Your bait sounds good, I would recommend that you should try to find some Oak trees that are still dropping acorns and make a bait pile there. Good luck on your final days.

Try a Maple flavor Bacon burn, then pour the grease on your pile, then sit back and watch out.

The problem is not with what you are baiting with; it's where you are baiting. Bears are getting ready to hibernate so their range has shrunk considerably. Bait where there is fresh bear sign not where you want them to be.
