If I draw my early season deer tag in Colorado we will pick up some leftover bear tags. There are a lot of bears in that unit and need to thin them out and help the mule deer.If you love Mule Deer and hunting them, hunt these bears. A fun great investment.
I wish you the best of luck on your fawn-killer hunt!Bear is pretty low on my list but it’s definitely something I’ll eventually do once for sure. I have 19 points for Utah so I have options. Time is an issue for me so I’ll probably have to hire someone for help. I just have to eventually prioritize the time to do it.
Colorado always has a lot of leftover bear tags. Raising the NR cost from $100 to $250 this year will probably result in a lot more leftovers.For the life of me I don’t know why any Mule Deer state does not allow free-for-all Bear hunting, even better add them to the Coyote Bounty program and pay $50 for each dead Bear.
I bet any and all Mule Deer biologists would agree?

You just do the shaker barrels? Popcorn for bait?I'll hunt bears. It's a great time to get out and have a low-stress hunt. Camp, shed hunt, fish, etc and then sit on a bear bait in the evening. I'll put out a couple of baits and hope to shoot another good one.
Here's last year's bear on the bait.

Should be free to kill those giant garbage eating Raccoons.Colorado always has a lot of leftover bear tags. Raising the NR cost from $100 to $250 this year will probably result in a lot more leftovers.
That’s ok, we will still pick up a tag if we draw a mule deer tag. Always good to help keep the predators in check. And, I still have a cinnamon bear on my bucket list. lol
birth control would bring the deer back not predator control.Should be free to kill those giant garbage eating Raccoons.
And, the State should offer a bounty for each Bear/Coyote/Cougar killed.
Cheap investment to bring our Deer back.
So that is why Wyoming has so many Sheep…..for birth control.birth control would bring the deer back not predator control.
I plan but I haven’t drawn. I’ve went with dogs once but we never got on a good track.Who all has been, or going, bear hunting this year? What state? Archery? Gun? Do you hunt from a stand or spot-n-stalk? Just curious how you all hunt them?

It's on private lands, so I can use more than one barrel. I use one vertical barrel. Fill it with popcorn and the leftover cakes, donuts, breads, etc the store lets me have.You just do the shaker barrels? Popcorn for bait?
Headed to Russia in early May for brown bear, and then the day I get back I’ll head to Montana for my annual bear hunt up there. This will be my 9th year in a row.
Wow you are a braver man than I going to Russia. I guess you think it is safe, but too much going on over there for me.
