A 500-Yard “Calling Card” for the Deep Woods
In the world of professional trapping and wildlife management, few names carry the weight of Forsyth Lure. Stan Forsyth, an active Alberta trapper, continues a 50-year family tradition of producing time-tested lures where quality is never sacrificed for quantity. While the Forsyth catalog is full of legendary scents, their Bear Tease Lure stands out as a specialized powerhouse for anyone serious about black bears, brown bears, or grizzlies.
The Formula
Bear Tease isn’t just a sweet-smelling bait; it is a premium blend of real bear-calling agents. Compounded from the finest glands, musks, and oils available, this lure is designed to trigger a bear’s natural curiosity and territorial instincts. Unlike generic “sweet” lures, Bear Tease is thick, waterproof, and built to endure the harsh conditions of the North, from spring rains to the first frosts of autumn.
Proven Performance
The efficiency of Bear Tease is backed by more than just anecdotal evidence. It has been the go-to choice for government bear surveys, biological DNA collection stations, and environmental impact studies across the globe—from the remote reaches of Nunavut and Eastern Quebec to international projects in Italy, Germany, and Kazakhstan.
Key Specs:
- Effective Range: Will call bears in from up to 500 yards.
- Versatility: Highly effective for Black, Brown, and Grizzly bears.
- Efficiency: A little goes a long way; a single tablespoon is often all that’s required to activate a station.
In the Field
For the trapper or camera hunter, the application is straightforward but highly effective. Forsyth recommends smearing approximately one tablespoon of the lure on a tree roughly 4 to 6 feet off the ground. This height allows the scent to catch the wind and travel, creating a 500-yard scent corridor that pulls bears directly to your station or trail camera.
As with any high-performance bear attractant, Forsyth reminds users to always “Be bear aware” when checking sets—because when you use Bear Tease, there’s a high probability the bear is already there.
The Verdict
Whether you are running a camera survey, managing a nuisance bear, or looking to fire up a bait station, Forsyth’s Bear Tease Lure offers the consistency of a 50-year legacy with the scientific backing of modern biological research. It is a professional-grade tool for the serious woodsman.
