Don’t be too quick to shoot the first time a bear appears. The smaller, younger bears usually show up first, to wolf down a few mouthfuls and then scurry away before the big bears arrive. As a rule of thumb, a small bear’s head looks large, and it appears long- legged because the body has not yet caught up to the head and legs. On the other hand, a big bear’s head appears smallish compared to its enormous body, and the legs look somewhat stumpy.  Continue To Outdoor Article-->>>>>

A large percentage of bears are taken over a bait pile in North America, and bait can be especially effective where spring bear hunting is allowed. Bears eat native vegetation, nuts and berries, but given the opportunity, they are gluttons for meat and other high-protein foods.

Some hunters bait with bakery throw-outs such as stale bread or pastries. However, bears prefer beef suet, which is usually available free from most local butcher shops. In bear hunting country, there often is competition among hunters for good bait, and it can be next to impossible to obtain enough bread or suet to maintain a bait site. When all else fails canned dog food can work just as well by adding used restaurant grease .

Some states require that bait be placed in containers that must be removed after bear season closes while other states require bait piles to be located a certain distance away from streams.
