Fall black bears

[schmijar]

Anybody running a bait, training dogs, got an outfitter plan for this fall?

I have a tag in northern WI, getting a lot of action, although most in the dark, and my biggest bears all look to be sows.

I was sort of anti cell cam, but bears are just fun to watch so i broke down and put one up. I have a beautiful rug on the wall that I'm probably not going to top, so I'm looking forward to some time in the woods and time watching bears, and maybe I'll get lucky and get one in the freezer again!

I have a Black Bear hunt planned with Tri County Outfitters in Coastal North Carolina in November. I just had total right new replacement 1 week ago and hope to be healed up enough to go.

I usually hunt bear here in Ontario every fall, it is such a great time to be in the woods.

This year I am off to South Africa for some different game...so I will unfortunately miss the season.

Hunting bears in northern Alberta right now. Our group of 4 have 3 in the salt after a day and a half of hunting.
A small 150-160 lb sow and two boars.
One went 395 and the other is 265. Sighting bears like crazy. 5 more hunt days to finish out our hunt. Two bear area.

I really need to get to Alberta for bear. How is the outfitter? Would you recommend them?

So far I’d highly recommend him. Tons of bears. Spot n stalk hunt. No baiting.
PM me if you want more info

I am seeing a little reduction in activity a week out from season. Probably acorns hitting the ground, although its not a heavy acorn year thankfully. I am seeing more bears at daylight/dark which is a good development.

I am sitting here impatiently waiting for Maryland DNR to post the winners of this year's Black Bear drawing. They are to announce the winners sometime today.

No tag this year but have seen several while bowhunting deer/elk. Drought conditions and they are having to spend lots more time foraging than a regular year.
