What if I can’t be there at your open times?
Feel free to call us at 920-419-1238 to schedule an appointment for you to pick up bait at any of our locations.
Do I need to buy bait now or can I buy it in August?
We suggest if you see something you want to buy it right away because there’s no guarantee it will be in stock come August. We are constantly getting new products in as other items run out and can never guarantee we will have that product in stock again.
How much bait do I need?
This depends on when you start baiting, how much you bait each time, how often you bait, how many sites you’re baiting and how many bear are coming in. Typically most people go through 4-5 barrels, including dry bait and sweet toppings, per season but again it depends on the variables listed above. Feel free to ask one of our experienced associates when purchasing your bait as to what they would recommend for your circumstances.
Does bear bait need to be refrigerated?
No. A majority of our bait lasts a LONG time no matter how it’s stored but it’s best if you can store the bait in a cool dry location.
Does your bear bait contain chocolate?
We do not put large amount of chocolate in our baits and not every bait contains chocolate. If you are in a chocolate free state be sure to ask BEFORE purchasing if the bait you’ve selected contains chocolate.
We suggest you avoid large blocks of chocolate due to it being toxic to bears, also please check your local and state regulations for restrictions BEFORE purchasing bait.
Can I get an inventory list?
Yes, all of our current inventory lists are posted on our website for each location, products vary per location. We try to keep them as updated as possible but remember quantities of items can change fast as baiting season picks up. See our bait lists by location: Appleton | Birnamwood | Tomahawk | Phelps | Ishpeming
What forms of payment do you accept?
For in store purchases we accept the following forms of payment at all locations:
Is there sales tax?
Yes. IRS rules and regulations require us to charge sales tax on all purchases.
What is the barrel fee?
There is a $15 barrel purchase fee for all products that come in a 55-Gallon Barrel/Drum. The barrel is yours to keep or dispose of in a responsible manner. We no longer take barrel returns.

If we are delivering to a loading dock you will need a forklift or steer skid at the delivery site to unload your shipment.
If you require a liftgate truck let us know when you place your order as this will increase the shipping cost.
