MN 2010 Bear Hunt

[mnbearbaiter]

They just posted the 2010 Bear Hunt regs, the DNR has really cut the permits down:( I called and asked for the reason! They put me on the phone with some big shot who worked with the lotteries! He claimed that the state probably has 25,000-30,000 bears, but the number of applicants is slipping and the success rates arent what they expected! The last 2-3yrs have been tough due to the late spring pushing the berry crop back into bear season. This year could be a good one though, my group has pref. points and the spring is way early too! Also with the DNR cutting the permits down, competition will be reduced! Life is good

Hope the tag comes through for you.  MN is the one state "close" to me that I have yet to chase bears in as usually my Septembers are full...

Good luck and let us know.

I really want to get out this year to bear hunt. I want to try to find a few people to get out and do it. I am sure it would be a lot of fun. Plus I need to try to find some land to go to.

MN is crawling with state forests!!!

I know that. But not sure if I want to put in lottery. Plus want to find a few people first. Not to fun to do by yourself. Plus a lot of work by yourself.
