My Bears have always been delicious-Elk & Caribou is better.
Dangerous-respect the animal you are hunting. I have Bowhunted Bears (15 hunts) & never carry a gun-BUT!!! I have had some INTERESTING times. If you worry about that, take a gun with.
I feel that " EVERY" Bear that came to my bait " KNEW" I was there.
I have taken 2 P&Y, Missed 2 P&Y & passed on 7 other bears at under 15 yards.
I no longer hunt them but it is a thrill when they come in & yes, spooky to some. enjoy-make the hunt..
