They took a metal large coffee can and 10lb. bag of normal sugar. Under a can of Sterno the rendered the entire 10 lbs. into a black strap molasses looking candy into the bottom of the can. No stirring, nothing, just cooking it down. It smelled like cotton candy at the fair.
George said no need to tie it down or anything. Bears would find it and chew, lick it, eat the can too eventually. It always stayed around the bait. We had a candy pop as a kid like that, “Brown Cow”. Took you a week to eat it down, for 10 cents. Great times inducing cavities back in the blissful days. We actually had an adolescent Grizz come in on us while we were making one up in the stand with us!
