RE: Why bear hunt?
Why hunt bears...the thrill of knowing that he can eat me if he so pleases. So I better get him first. I've built probably five stands over bait and bears have climbed every single one of them to look around. They know I'm there. One stand I had was fifteen feet in the air but level with the knoll close by. Nothing gets the blood pumping faster than to have a 300# bear stand on the knoll...even with you...and sway back and forth...looking in the stand to see if you are there.[&:]
Eating...good stuff. Just make sure that the bear is a grass, flower, and berry eater and not trash, garbage and fish. They are what they eat.
I can't wait to get back in the woods.
Happy Hunting
