Bear hunting in your state isn't the same as bear hunting in Mn. I'm guessing your chicken ass would be packing a side arm when walking through the big northern woods of Mn because its so thick and dark. Yes Jeff, It is that thick and swampy up in the sticks. It would be damn near impossible in Mn to hunt without bait and be succesful shooting bear. Why people can't understand this is beyond me.
LMAO!! That's always been a problem of mine trying to find guys to share a Bear hunting trip with me. One thing keeps most guys from going.
The Big Yellow strip down their back. Many make excuses, and some have told me: "No way I'd hunt anything with a Bow that can Hunt me"
As far as baiting goes? I think if it's legal in the state your hunting then go for it. It's usually frowned upon by those who have never hunted over any kind of bait. Especially if they say it is not hunting.
Those same guys will spend thousands of $$$$ on equipment, seed, minerals, and time to put in Food Plots, etc. and call it hunting? but would look down there nose at some fellow who hunted over a Bait in Wisconsin.
Double Standard? Whatever! It's not legal to Bait in IL. & NE. where I do 98% of my hunting, but I won't look down at anyone that uses a legal means at their disposal.
