[QUOTE="jvstoro, post: 842512, member: 66161"] I too am relatively new to bear hunting. I am hunting black bears. Here in Ontario the hunt starts sept 1st. I set up two baiting stations yesterday, as i am hoping to get my black bear in October rather than september. makes for a better coat. Both stations have trail cameras set up. My bait stations are about 1/2 mile apart, as I am hunting on private property which has approx 300 acres, of a good mix of hay fields, good thick bush near by, and lots of food, apples, berries etc...it should be a bear paradis. My questions are: 1.How often should I check my bait? 2. Why make noise going in to check bait? (Please explain) 3. Once I have a hit, I plan on setting up a stand. (tree or ground blind...which is better?) Reason i have not set up stand first as I was hoping to get bears coming in first. I know about 1.5 miles away, there are bears, but dont have permission to hunt in that area yet. working on it though. Any advise is greatly appreciated from you experienced bear hunters. Kind regards, Jaime [/QUOTE]
