Baiting is illegal here in MA... yet everyone complains about the evergrowing bear population. I think baiting is the key to proper management.
It is amazing how many bears are killed in MA "without baiting".

If we couldn't bait in Minnesota there would be bear nuisance problems everywhere. There's plenty of bear nuisance problems already. I've been bear hunting for 19 years and been around it for 30 years and If there was another way to do it I'd have done it. Its just the only way possible in northern Minnesota to get a bear unless you were hunting a cornfield or an oats field. If your hunting them corn and oats fields It has to be the right time of year as well when they start to ripen. Any other time they won't be there either. There's hardly any corn fields up there, bad soil for crops up there. Its impossible to spot and stalk a bear when you can't see 15' in front of you in the thick northern woods of Minnesota. If I was bear hunting in the mountains, bait wouldn't be a necessity. A person can't use dogs in Mn either for bear hunting. Can you guys?

Bear baiting and dog hunting is illegal. Bear nuissance problems increase every year. There are +/- 125 bears killed in MA every year... The majority coming from Berkshire County (Western most county).
Lots of bears... Let's put it this way... I have seen 1 bear while deer hunting and1 while turkey hunting... baiting should be legalized.
