Black Bear Hunting

[Antler3]

While deer scouting earlier in the year found some black bear sign. Was flipped over rocks like he had just went through feeding. We have few black bear around. I've never hunted them. The bear season here is open the same time our deer season opens. If he happens through while I'm in the deer woods maybe will get a shot at him. Good hunting!

I would like info from kn. bear hunters who have gone or are thinking of going on a bear hunt in ontario canada. what do you expect from your hunt (a big bear is obvious). If you have hunted bear,what was good what was bad and what would you like. Feel free to be honest and remember nothing is to small or unimportant as it is you doing the hunting. How many stands, how long a shot do you want? Do want road access or by water. I am compiling stats and needs of bear hunters both bow and gun.Let it fly any and all ideas will be colated. First time hunters what have you been told to expect and what do you expect. How much do you want to spend for 1week, do you also want fishing for all species. I will reply, im on vac. now but will check you can send me your email.I am very interested in horror stories about the hunt from h-ll.

This is going to be my first bear hunt at my property in western Wisconsin. I put out corn behind my cabin for the deer and 2 weeks ago i had a monster come out and feed in the middle of the day. I am guessing it is a male probably about 40 to 45 inches at the shoulder.

dont pack a bag of trail mix under the seat of four-wheeler while turkey hunting....black bear might rip the stuffing outta the seat while ur gone(like he did mine) lol

[jbarsness]

I have been told to use sweats and i happen to have a Tastee factory down the street from me. I was also told to put out used grease so any other trips or tricks would be helpful.

Hello!
I just signed up for the forum today.
I had some deer hunting questions.
I'm from Ontario and I've hunted Bear since I was 15.
I only bow hunt now and use bait sites. I take my Bear every year.
My wife started hunting last fall and got her first Bear the second night out with a bow.
If anyone has any specific questions, I would be happy to help.

Where in WI I am from Eau Claire.....Just moved to Richmond and need to make some hunting friends

[burhuntin.]

the size at the shoulder really wont matter much. im thinking that since hes coming in the middle of the day hes not as big as you think.
that doesnt mean its impossible. but most big bears arent that stupid. there are exceptions tho.
what does his head like, are his ears small or large because a bear will grow his head but his ears stay the same from birth. usually you can judge a bear from that.

[Bowhunter 400]

Lay a 6 foot log next to your pile. This will give you a pretty good idea on size. Anything under 6 feet will not be as heavy as you think he looks.
As bur huntin stated look at their ears if their ears really stick out it's a smaller bear.

[Tony204ing]

The ears are a great tip and probably the most tell tale sign that i know of for a big bear.Also a big bears belly is a lot clser to the ground.Those young bears will look tall coming in but thats decieving.Bears are probably the most notorious for ground shrinkage.

[burhuntin.]

yeah they are.

[chevychris]

A big bear will have seemingly small round ears that are far apart and the eyes will appear small and close together. Also the nose will look short but thick.

[dannyaktalbot]

anyone able to tell me how to fully dress and harvest a black bear? what organs will spoil the meat?

Hi,

Summer is a time when hunters hone their archery skills and try to outdo their shooting performance from last year. It is an ideal time to tweak, tick, and twiddle with new gear or accessories. The summer drags most archers into their front yard or local shooting range to plunk away on bag, block, or 3D targets. I’ve learned that it is crucial to your practice regimen that you invest efforts into piercing arrows in the correct target at the correct time.
