    Trad archery friendly bear over bait hunt?

    A trad bowhunting friend used to work for a guide service in Waskish, MN, and he continues to rely on them. (He's headed there at the end of this month with his family.) Bear Paw Guides I think they only guide in the permit areas, but you should double-check that. Your only chance for a draw...

    I posted a link earier today to the MN Tracking Dogs Directory and request form, but someone has apparently deleted it without telling me why. If you search the Internet for ""Submit Your TRACKING REQUEST" AND "Minnesota tracking dogs" you will find it instantly.

    tracking dogs for wounded bears question

    There's a Facebook group for the MN wounded game dog handlers at Minnesota Tracking Dogs. They publish a directory there but I can't find it immediately. If you post a request there you'll probably be sent to the directory or a handler.

But in that scenario I would have brought a tracking dog to the scene and let it have a go. I heard an account one time of an avalanche dog locating and starting to...

    Newb from Minnesota

    Trying to figure out who you are. ;-) You can run but you can't hide if you show up here in Duluth at any of the following. There's free primitive camping, electricity for five bucks, and the barbequel on Saturday at the season-ending Extravaganza is not to be missed.

    FNG from Flyover Land

    Lurked long enough that I finally saw a thread where I had something worthwhile to post. I’m from Duluth, MN and now back in Duluth to stay after stints in AK (twice), WA, NH and the Twin Cities. I’m an adult onset bowhunter after spending nearly two decades as a SAR dog handler. My favorite...

    BWCA Bear Hunt Advice?

    My partner and I will make our third attempt this fall. You are smart to go later; we like that same period in order to avoid heat and crowds. IMO, the key is to put enough time into the hunt. We've been chased out by the weather twice and it hurt our chances. I use a ScentBlaster loaded with...
