Bear Hunting for Beginners

[leechlake]

My wife said I need just one more outdoor hobby ( I think I heard her right).  I figured bear hunting will be it.  The thing that has kept me from doing it is being in the woods that time of the year but I will put my big boy pants on and do it.  Also Gofishleech's son killed a 500 plus pounder very close to my cabin so I'm scared and want to rid the woods of beasts like that.   The area I will be hunting is woods and tamarac swamps.  I have zero clue what I'm doing but think the major things are baiting and having a plan if I kill a bear because it will be 70 plus degrees most likely.  Please fill in with your wisdom and knowledge you've learned over the years, I'd use a rifle I'm sure in case that matters.  I could bow hunt but being a newbie leads me to lean towards rifle hunting.  Also, no one baits bears in the 400 plus acres I have access to.

Here are some tips. First I keep my hunting cloths in the kitchen so they pick up a good bacon smell which helps bring in the Bears. When baiting I like to smoke a cigar in and out so they get use to that when I'm in my stand. I also like to take a few leaks around my stand and a good dump is even better so they get use to that scent as well. Sometimes I will bang a garbage can around or even bang on a pot and pan so they know when to come to dinner. I hope some of this Bear hunting tips help. It took me years to perfect them.

I like that confidence, no animal stands a chance when you have something down pat.  Reminds me of Ron Burgundy a bit-"I don't know how to put this but...I'm kind of a bid deal...people know me."  We'd get along just fine I bet, many days I think I have walleye fishing down and everyone in the boat will know it by the end of the day whether they want to hear it or not

Smurf is all of Ron burgandy for sure  but hes a good bear hunter too, he knows what he's talking about. but thats alot differrent than actually doing it., right smurf.
