Yooper Bear Hunt 2022

[Bucky]

Well, finally drew 1st season bear tag in Bergland as a non resident. Excited to get to hunt up around the cabin as there is some great potential for a big blackie to hit the ground.
Anyone else on here hunting UP for bear? If so would be curious where and what you are baiting with?
im going with sugar cones, peanut butter granola, lucky charmes and cherry juice.

How many points did that take?

 

[Bucky]

Took me 13 points, however I could have drawn the last 2 years just didn’t have time to hunt so put it off. Looks like only 6 NR getting tags this year for 1st season

Good luck and post up a report and photos from the hunt. I’m still a lot of years off from having that many points. You baiting DIY?

You will be fine with that bait. I've hunted East of Bergland a few times, Baraga and Amasa. Used donuts, cherry pie filling etc. Some guys start out with fish or something like that until the bear really want to start putting on fat but most use sweets exclusively.

Yes sir, got the bait at big woods in Oconto falls and doing it myself. Definitely will post pics

I have empty barrel's if you need any to keep bait in. You probably drive pretty close to me on your way up.

Barrels - storage okay, just don't use them at your bait spot.

Good luck. Looking forward to burning up my points in the next year or two .

Quick update. Got a guy baiting for me up there and both baits are getting hit pretty hard. Will be up there Labor Day weekend to pull cameras and post some pics before opening day. Best of luck to all bear hunters this year

Bears are still hitting the baits every day. Most are in the day light as well which is a plus. Anyone else in UP experiencing the same activity? 1 week 1 day to opener!

I'm not hunting this year but great to hear you still have them in.
The count is on
