Good stuff guys, thanks for the Info!! I asked the questions I did trying to compare your bear hunting to mine. Here's my answers to the questions.
Do you usually see a bear every year?
Nope
Do you usually get a bear every year?
Nope. Been around bear hunting/baiting for 25 years. 18 of those years I bear hunted. So far I'm 50% on getting a bear.
Do you have a problem with night hitting bear?
Yes, It's a huge problem. Way to many other bear hunters In the area.
Do your baits pick up or slow down after the bear season opens and progresses?
At first they will always slow down but usually 2 to 3 weeks later they pick back up again being most of the other bear hunters are either tagged out or gave up.
Are there lots of other hunters In the area?
As I said already, way to many!! It's getting better though, less permits are being given out In the area I hunt. All the complaining finally Is doing some good I believe.
What state are you hunting In?
Minnesota
