Hunting Manitoba Black Bears

+Joel Prunty at +North American Hunter interviewed Mike Adey a while back about spring black bear hunting:

"I asked Mike, “What is the biggest mistake bear hunters make?” and he didn’t have to think twice about his reply. “Even experienced hunters get overly confident hunting over bait and throw caution to the wind,” he said. “Maybe their scent preparations are a little lax or they move around too much on the stand, all because they assume the bear is going to hit the bait. That’s not necessarily the case.” If it happens to be a big bear, getting it to hit the bait while you are on stand is even tougher. Bears generally get smarter as they get bigger."
