Fall black bears

[Albert GRANT]

I love watching bears over bait. I enjoy spot and stalk as well on them. But as far as a "tree stand" hunt goes. I don't think it gets more entertaining than bear hunting. You never know what will come in. Watching the cubs play around, the interactions between all the different bears, watching them eat/play/fight, and also not knowing what might come in next. It makes for an interesting time.

If you are in an area where you have multiple bear regularly, then I could see it being more entertaining. Where I am, I only had 2 bears, they never came in at the same time, only hit sporadically, and would only pop in briefly during daylight, preferring to do most of their eating after dark, which has typically been my experience in this area. Hence why I’m not a fan

That makes a lot of sense. A couple years ago a friend of mine went and didn't see one bear for 7 days straight. In a high activity area I would gladly go every spring and fall. In an area like that I'd struggle to go more than once. Watching them interact up close is most the fun for me.
