After giving bear hunting over bait a try for 4 seasons I finally decided its not for me, I will stick to deer..Good luck to you Frank...
Good luck all you bear hunters. I have a hard enough time getting ready for deer season, let alone get bait sites out. I've always considered getting a bear tag to have one in my pocket in case one wonders through during a deer sit. I've picked them up on cameras. I've heard mixed reviews on the meat, but I assume like any other game meat it comes down to handling in the field and preparation.
I hope so! I’m ok with not doing these 80+ degree September’s again like the last few years
