Like other people have mentioned. Acorns are dropping, baits will slow up a bit if there abundant natural foods.
I am of the opposite opinion of others. I believe in baiting alot. I baited in Arkansas for two years. I filled up 55 gallon drums with donuts and grease. I found the more bait you had out the more bears that came. I saturated the ground with grease that way every bear that came and went left a nice scent trail right back to my bait barrel.
Fall is tough baiting, all the natural foods start dropping right when season begins. Good luck and don't give up.
