[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 2076, member: 25"] My suggestions would be: Shot placement - break them down by shooting the scapula (shoulder) or central nervous system (spine or brain) and you have control. Bears should not be shot like deer, get them on the ground with your first shot. Why follow and track something with big teeth and toenails. Habitat - they like water - try to hunt or place baits along or near water. Beaver damns are excellent, they are bear sidewalks. Bait - can't beat beaver (that might get some reaction...). Another good bait is stale bread-products soaked in cooking grease such as deep fryer grease you mooch from a restaurant. Easy to carry, garbage bags for the buns, sealable pails for the grease and the bears like it a lot. As for other baits, about anything that Mr. Bear decides to munch. Ranges from used Pampers to T-Bone steaks... Canned sardines do a good job to attract and are usually the first thing et. I sure don't consider myself an expert on anything, learned from some good people and was fortunate to get to play in the woods a lot. [/QUOTE]
