Bear over bait

[masonbanta]

Looking for best bear over bait hunts in the lower 48. Post your pics, post or send me your recommendations or who to avoid. This is something I am looking at taking my daughter to do with archery equipment.

Pretty limited in the lower 48. I’ve hunted over bait in Minnesota and Idaho. Minnesota is a fall season.
Hunted Wyoming bear, but there’s a lot of hoops to jump through for a DIY hunt.
That’s about all I can give ya, other than, I’m headed to Saskatchewan in May for my bear hunt this year.

Looking for guided, way too much time and effort for DIY on a baited hunt IMHO.

Idaho, but never used a guide, so not much help.

As an Idaho resident I agree with Elkhntr08. Guides can be a huge waste. Remember guides assist you to get an animal, but don't guarantee it. The GREAT guides are booked way way in advance, because they are good. But any place along the Canadian border is thick for archery bear.

I would be very wary of Washington state too. They don't allow baiting for bear.

I would recommend just getting your passports and going to Canada, if you going to go the guided route
