we have plenty of bears for a spring hunt, at least for 1 year. bears are hungry in the spring and would be very eager to come to a bait pile. If our bearpop. is low then the DNR wouldnt issue 2 tags per hunter, over the counter tags, nuscance permits, ect... every year our harvest goal is not even close to being reached. i dont know where you live but bears are a pretty common sight now even in central MN. no disrespect i just disagree with you.
