I leave on Oct 4th for a quick three day Black Bear hunt in Manitoba.

going on my first black bear hunt ever in maine. leaving this thursday coming for a week hunt. cant wait

Checked my baits this weekend and both got hit. It's supposed to be a good year in MN. Apparently not a very good berry crop due to dry conditions.

i have started baiting and had one hit last night i am using bread and sweets topped with molasses.

dang right i'll be getting the hounds out this fall

My Dad and i have been going but due to me starting college i cant go this year but he is still planning on it. We go to MN around International Falls here is my last years bear.

And my Dads

Mine was around 125 dressed and dads was 305 dressed

I will be taking my annual trek for a week in mid October here in WVA.
We are not allowed to bait so it is quite the challenge but if there are no bear at the stand it will turn into a whitetail hunt after a few days

I went to main on the 27 till the 30 got my fisrt black bear was150 lbs

I got my first Black Bear this year on Aug. 27.....It was very exciting and unlike any other hunting I've ever done before. I hunting just north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It was one of the best hunting trips I've ever taking and I will sure be going back.....I haven't got my pics developed from the field but here is one I took w/ the wifes digital yesterday. I had to get him back out of the freezer to admire him one more time. He weighed in at #355 and had a estimated skull of 21in.

I thought I'd add that if anyone was interested in a bear hunt I would recommend Doug Part of Wolf River Bear Baits....This hunt was more than I could have ever imagined and I've already booked for next year. He had had 19 hunters when we left and was working on a 100% success rate. He has 600sq. miles of some of the most beautiful land in Canada. Heres his info....He does not advertise commercially...Doug Park. (870) 857-2942 or email at [email protected]
