Bear hunting in 2011?
 

Who is Bear hunting this year and where are you headed?

Colorado where it is illegal to bait! Lots don't hunt them exclusively here because it takes different methods to harvest. There are some monster bears here though. My website has pictures of a few nice bears and a big one shot last year, for some examples.

I am planning to bear hunt in Slovakia, Europe. The licenses are very difficult to get hold of but I managed to get three for the 2011 season.

Being from BC, I have decent Black bear hunting right outside my door, but I think i will be doing some scrounging around for a big fella with my bow this spring... Not sure if i will head to the coast or not... Should be able to get a 400lb + bear without going to the coast...

Heading to Alberta the end of May.

No interest in bear hunting.

They taste like an oily rag.

For my third year in a row I am heading up to New Brunswick the end of may. Starting to get excited! As a matter of fact, I picked up a new flashlight to day for the trip.

Going to hunt spring bear season and fall bear season if i don't get a spring bear, As far as location, i'll be hunting right here in nw Montana.

Plan on bear hunting over bait In my home state of Minnesota If I get drawn.

Eagle are tough to eat. They peck your eyes out when you're eating them.

Staying at home in Wyoming near Arlington. Over bait . . . with a bow . . . and a really slow friend!!

If I don't draw a moose tag I'll try to put together a bear hunt.

I'll be hunting here at home in New Brunswick for the spring season except for the first week in June when I have 3 hunters from Indiana coming.Two of them hunted with me 3 years ago and took their bears the first and second night.

I'm goin home to Star Lake NY

Do you guys really like the taste of bear meat?

I am sure everyones tastes vary. We use bear, instead of pork to cut into our Moose,Elk and deer for ground meat and sausage. Bear nachos rock!

Yeah, deer can taste pretty bad if it's on the wrong diet too.

I must have tried bear meat that was eating at the dump.

Maybe i'll try again. Hunting bear without a stand or bait is a real challenge.

Everyone's taste buds are different but bear meat that taste's like crap most likely wasn't taken care of properly when It was killed. Bear have allot of fat Inside the meat and along the hide. The biggest no no people do Is not getting them cooled right away. Bear meat Is my favorite big game animal to eat.

Bear hunting can be just as challenging In certain parts of the country using bait as well. Come on up to Minnesota and do a public land hunt If you don't believe me. ;)

I didn't kill the bear meat I tried. I'm pretty good about taking care of my meat.

I've still hunting for bear a few times, but was never happy with the shots I had, so never took them. I still haven't killed one yet.

It's hard to get me away from elk hunting. It's the biggest joy in my life.

Not sure why I took Muley Hunter as a name. :confused0024:

If I get to go it will be New Brunswick.

You got that right, elk hunting Is a blast and a huge rush!! I wish I lived closer to the mountains. I've elk hunted In 3 different states and bought a bear tag In all 3 states. 2 of the 3 states I did and stalk on a bear but passed on them being they were a tad to small. Elk hunting, that's another story. Them suckers have kicked my butt and then some!! I love hunting them though.

Best of luck getting yourself a bear. Looking forward to hearing about It. :cool2:

id love to go on a bear hunt. im trying to make a trade( kansas whitetail for a bear) with someone from WY hoping it works out

I have been wanting to hunt bear as well. I have bought tags for the fall while I was elk hunting but I have yet to see one. I am thinking about trying the spring bear hunt in the same area. I have crossed fresh tracks in the snow while elk hunting so I know they are there. I have also been considering a guided hunt in Northwest Montana since I have no clue about size. Trying to get the wife talked into it as well as myself.

Have you tried to call them in? They'll come to a predator call.

Muley,

I have never even thought about trying that. Couldn't hurt I guess. I may just have to go on an early season camping trip this year. Ha!

Going to Quebec, Canada in June with my 17 year old son, my uncle and another guy. Great camp, killed 2 bears and a moose there. Great pike and trout fishing in the AM.

Good luck to everyone going out.

In my own backyard of southern Ontario. Had them taking the bait last fall but they didn't come in when I was on stand. Better luck this Sept.

Planning on buying a bear tag to carry while bow hunting for elk in sw colorado this fall. Two years ago while elk hunting there i saw one black and one chocolate. The choc and i came face to face(about 10 yards) on a trail. Very exciting. Can't wait to get back.

Headed up to central BC as usual starting in late Apr-Late May. good colorphase blackies can be found away from the coast

going black bear hunting in plasterrock canada nb.great place,,ruffs sporting camp.

I'll be out for three days in Pennsylvania for my first ever bear hunt this fall! I see them pretty regularly while deer hunting, saw three different ones this past season. So, I decided to give it a try!

Headed to northern Saskatchewan may 29th. I hope they are up and moving by then.

We will be hunting them in our back yard...lol. We didnt hunt bears at all until we moved to Northern Saskatchewan and it seemed they were as thick as coyotes. They were constantly in the yard, so we started hunting them and have taken a bunch, it is a totally different kind of hunt. Alot of fun though for sure. Good luck to all!

We didnt draw Minnesota tags so we are trying to put a new hunt together. Any suggestions? Would trade a whitetail hunt in Iowa.

I will be heading to California the last two weeks of October for a bear hunt with my hounds. Should be a good time. And my friend that I am going with can make some killer bear teriyaki jerky :D

I got back from Idaho about 4 weeks ago. i done a fully unguided backpack hunt with 3 other guys in the bitterroot selway wilderness. 3 of us came back with bears and the fourth guy shot and missed. this is my first bear but definatly not my last.

sorry double post
