I have never had a bear or a cat come to my trail cameras, I do use a certain attractant that I figured would draw bear to my trail cams but the only thing that has responded to it is deer, elk and moose. I usually pull my cameras a week or so before the hunt. We tend to get a few hunters in the area then and even though they are not expensive cameras I would still like to hang on to them. My cameras do have a flash but alot of times the animals are comming up and licking and moving them during daylight hours. I'm not sure that they don't pick up some kind of signal or something from the cameras with their senses maybe dealing with the motion sensor in the camera. Some guys I know put attractant on the camera to draw them up close, I quit doing that a couple years ago.
