Kyle there was a few post's made in HOGHUNTINGUNLIMITED's thread that really caught my attention. I'm sure one was just a shot at me but the comments from the others really had me wondering how and why they come to there conclusions. Do most of the people that make these comments do any bear hunting? Do they think its just like baiting deer? For the most part I think most people are way uneducated when it comes to this bait thing with bear. In most of the states that baiting isn't allowed, its that way because the anti hunters pushed for it and got it, not the hunters! Spring bear seasons are disappearing as well, again the anti's are the pushers there once again.

Baiting deer isn't a must one bit in Mn to be successful in shooting a deer. Baiting bear however is damn near a must. When your hunting bear in the northern woods of Mn you can't hardly see 10 yards in front of your face. It would damn near be impossible to sit on a "game trail" (I've never seen just a bear trail in a big woods without ag crops around the area) and hope a bear walks down it. Yes you could sit on a oats field or corn field but how many of them are on Public land in northern Mn, not one that I know of. Its all big woods up there. Most of these agriculture fields are all on private land.
