I know early spring is the worst time but sweets are like crack to some bears that's why I was worried. Some un-ethical hunters use sugary treats to bait bears so they get a sweet tooth. Thanks for the help, I had forgotten they are going to be chowing down on acorns and goodies mainly. We had a bad problem with bears getting mange last year and that made them a lot less predictable and they got bolder as they started to starve from the disease until they had to be put down. It was really sad. This year has been much better, I haven't seen any with mange at all. Here's one of my buddies coming to help cut the lawn, that's 15 feet from my front door at 7 at night. They aren't real afraid of me around here. We have had a nice I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me thing going on for 20 years. Which is the big reason I don't want to temp them with sugar if it's a temping treat. Just didn't know if they could smell it at that small of a rate. Thanks again for the advice.
