I know it's early and some are in the draw, but it's not a bad idea to start scouting for new bait locations and looking around for bait sources.

Best bait in Manitoba where its legal is a frozen beaver...I went hunting with a buddy from Mb about 25 years ago he had gotten a couple dozen beaver from a trapper..wow did they work... he had one tied on a rope about 7' high and I watched 4 different bears try to get it one night..Talk to Dakids. ;)

Yep, bears love beaver.  In mn you can only use 1/4 of a carcass.  I chop them up frozen with a splitting mall.  I also use the castor glands.  Cut the sack open and hang it high and let the wind work. 
Anything that is free is worth saving up for.

Falls back to protien. I agree with jerry, beaver is ears fav and will take beaver over doughnuts. once I get a bear on site  with smells and treats, i suppliment priteins. i used beave if i had a them availbe but i dont trap. I like to use beef fat.

Same here, start with sweets and change to protein, carbs and fats as it gets into Fall. We still however offer a variety all season as each year seems to have it's own twist on what they want.
