Baiting Bears in NY

Off hand, I'd think there's a greater chance of a spring season without baiting than with, or adding baiting to the fall season. It's just expanding time, rather than method of take.

I'd be quite happy with that.

Without baiting it's still just a lottery win getting a NY bear

Actually I used to think that way but having spent the last couple years in the Catskills I have seen a few and signs are all over you just have to make a reasonable effort

Well I am no expert, it probably would be very hard without bait. But I'd like the chance and it'd be better than what we have now.

Hunt the spring onions, early apples? Rotting logs with larvae...
