The baits are getting attention, and the bears are starting to show up.
With multiple bears hitting consistently and activity picking up, things are shaping up for a solid Minnesota bear season. Now it’s all about keeping the baits active, watching the patterns develop, and counting down the days.
September 1 can’t get here soon enough.
Good luck to all the Minnesota bear hunters getting ready for opening day. Hunt safe, hunt hard, and hopefully all that bait hauling pays off.
