Bear hunters and guides alike knew the competition would be stiff going into this year’s Minnesota bear-hunting season, which began Sept. 1 and ends Sunday. That competition: an abundance of natural forage in the bear woods – an option other than bear baits.
As of Tuesday, bear hunters in northern Minnesota’s quota and no-quota zones, had killed about 1,690 black bears, according to Dan Stark, the Minnesota DNR’s large carnivore specialist in Grand Rapids. Stark said that was about 80% of the kill at this point a year ago.
