The reality is that bears can be feeding all day. If you blow them out, they won't go far and tend to come back after a few hours. Keep in mind the evening is the absolute best time to be hunting bears (IMO). Climb in there early afternoon on the weekend and if you have an active bait site, you should be seeing them within a couple/few hrs.
Some members bears on here actually get accustomed to them loading the barrels. 300magman names his bears lol. Your quad will become a "dinner bell" of sorts if your bait is producing bears.
Have fun with it. Keep an eye on this thread and you will learn a ton.
