Black bear is some of the best meat going. If you get them in the fall when they are hitting the berry patches it don't get no better. I've been guiding black bears form bait stands for several years there times I just sit and watch them. I've seen as many as 5 or 6 at one time you can learn a lot about bears just watching them interact with each other. I would rather watch bears from a bait stand than watch TV.
