My First Bear!

[wiperhunter2]

Well, the Fall seasons open right now if you want to give it a try. It costs about $15 for a baiting permit. You need to get them at a fish and game office. As for the time, it all depends on when the Bears find the site and when they choose to feed. For me, it was around noon. A trail camera really helps here.

As for how far it needs to be from the road? About 200 yards, I think. Don’t take my word for it, there are regulations from Idaho Fish and game that say the exact rules.

I’m just throwing this out there, but if you’re in the Boise area, I could show you the ropes. Don’t know if it’s against the forum rules to offer this or not.

Send me a private message if you’re interested. Spring season next year starts April 15, and I plan on going out at that time.

Thanks for all the info, I won't be able to try hunting bear for a few year because I still live in Utah.  I'm planning on moving up around the Nampa area in a few years. I guess I could buy an out of state license but I'm thinking that would cost too much. I guess I should check into it. Thanks for the kind offer of showing me the ropes. 
Were you hunting from a tree stand or a ground blind? How many hours a day did you spend waiting for a bear to show up?
