    Is that your first bear? Are you getting a mount or rug done? Looks like a real nice coat on it.

    This was actually my third bear. Im going to get a half mount done. I decided on a free standing base with mossy scenery and the bear mid-stride but with both feet on the "ground". This was my four year bear hunting in Ontario, and honestly I cant get enough!

    Yeah there isn't any doe tags by me so I'll be going for only buck this year. IMO we really need it by us because there isn't as many deer as there used to be and hopefully this will help. Hopefully the DNR knows what the heck they are doing finally.

    I would love to hunt WI Bear, but not knowing exactly where the food sources are here, Im a little hesitant to eat one from WI. I have made a few bear bait stations for a few people though...Ill see if I can find a pic of the last one I did. Turned out pretty cool!

    I try to be optimistic, but usually end up disappointed on such subjects. :sad:

    Nicely done, Junior. Doesn't WI have a rule about having the bait in a container?

    Stumps don't count as long as they are hollowed all the way thru

    Wi bears are incredible table fare. I prepared the bear I shot last year a ton of different ways and I got rave reviews on all of them.
