What’s on the menu for bears? It varies across Minnesota

Bear hunters know that hunting success is usually linked to natural food availability.
In years of a bumper acorn crop, bears that had reliably hit baits prior to hunting season often disappear once acorns begin to fall, which often coincides with the opening of the bear-hunting season.
Conversely, during years when hard and soft mast crops are marginal, bears come to baits more regularly. But not all bear habitat is the same in Minnesota.
