Way way too many bears in this province. My uncle (retired) was having a bad problem this summer with bears at his deer hunt camp. Him and a neighbor ended up running 8 bait sites, they both killed 2 each in the first 3 days(that area you are allowedto buy 2 permits OTC). He called me up on a thursday night andasked if I wanted toocome up for the weekend and try my luck. Myself and a buddy drove up overnight on a friday. We hunted from 4pm until about 6 pm on saturday, we both killed bears in under an hour of being on stand! Sunday he called a couple more of his buddies up, and they ended up killing 3 more over a few days during the week. They will probably shoot a couple more this week during the moose hunt.
