Bears like pepper. Maybe add some spices.....
My wife manages a bread outlet store. Outdated cinnamon rolls, donuts, fruit pies, all the sweets and bread are coveted for bear bait. They trapped a young black bear in the Canyon Village campground in Yellowstone years ago using barbecued ribs. The bear was getting in to camp coolers. Bears are omnivores there’s not much they’ll turn down. People will eat it? So will they.
