An example of what one hunter's "bear baiting station" looks like. Typically, barrels are filled with a variety of foods—the stinkier the better—in order to lure in bears. While some states require that "natural foods" be used, it is not uncommon for bear baiters to use bacon grease, jellied donuts, tuna fish and cat and dog food,. Meanwhile, the same states where bear baiting is allowed, aggressively advise that campers and backcountry users avoid using smelly foods and doing anything that might attract bears and leave them addicted to human foods.
