My first out of state and only out of country hunt was a bear bowhunt in northern Alberta about 60 miles from the northern territories. I'll tell you one thing that was an awesome hunt! There were lots of bears coming in and we got two bear tags and a wolf tag. Out of 10 hunters all but 3 tagged out on bear and one shot a wolf with a rifle (not all bowhunted). I tagged out with a bow.

Best of luck to you Travo!

NH, where you considering going for bear?

yup, bear baiting is legal in minnesota. figute im gonna try to just condition em from being nocturnal by using the feeder, and also to keep from disturbing the site as much as i can by baiting every day. i betcha could help me out, cat. im open for suggestions.

Hey Travo: explain to me more about this hunt. Are you allowed to hunt bear over a deer feeder? Let me know more about it and I'll betcha the fatcat can help you out on bear hunting!

Good luck on your bear hunt!

We have an archery only bear season but they haven't opened it in my GMU yet. I hope it comes around here soon.
