The suspected outcome was reiterated after bear baiting began Friday, Aug. 16, which offered the state’s bear-hunting guides insight into what the upcoming season could look like.
“There’s no shortage of bears up here. … Some baits are getting hit really well, some they’re not eating everything, they’re just kind of cherry-picking the best stuff out, and we’ve got a few that haven’t been touched yet,” said bear guide Jim Wallner, of Grand Marais.
