[getrdone]

This year will be my first bear hunt, I want to try hunting up by Tofte (sawbill trail)area, has anyone had good luck up there, this summer I'll do my scouting and find afew good baiting spots, so far I have afew hundred pounds of dryed honey, and molasses, any tips would be great..

Thats a good area. I hunt more Northeast of there. Scout for sign find some berry patches, beaver ponds, look for tracks and scat. The only thing with that area is you will have plenty of competion.

If you have never bear hunted before, I suggest you read Dr. Ken Nordbergs' book on bear hunting. I don't recall the exact title. Also you may wanna catch one of those seminars the DNR puts on in the late summer.Good luck, there is nothing like the feeling of satisfaction one gets from doing this yourself!!!
