IMO it wouldn't be good because of the average weight of the bears in MN. are 150 to 200 pounds at harvesting time.Plus in the spring the don't really expand their eating grounds and as fall approaches they will cover alot more ground that's why people see more of them during the fall. and plus that's when your baiting station is more likely to be hit. Plus what would end up happening would be that our bear pop.will end up being decimated.Spring is their mating season.and we don't have the pop. of bears to sustain a sring hunt.
