Now that I'm back by Lake Superior, it will soon be bear season...
Tags are alotted by a draw system per region.. You can hunt over bait.. Of course there are a lot of rules about baiting.. However hunting over bait and with dogs is the best thing that can happen to bears for a lot of reasons.. Don't get me started on that part of the science and biology.... Also I'm sure it has happened, but I never heard of anyone, or very few people harvesting a ...sour... bear... That is one because of its diet the meat is unusable... I got a ..sour bear.. in the far north once when it was feeding on rotten things in our local swamp...
Also it is time of year to start hearing stories of bear encounters as people are still out and about and bears are in bulk up mode..
What is going on in your neck of the woods ??
