Yes it did by us. Went from getting kill tag in 5 to 6 years to getting kill tag in 9 to 10 years. Figures, does that affect your business or quality of bears? Seems like allot of points for a place that produces allot of bears. It isn't my business I just help/guide, but yes it has affected the business. Went from 100 hunters to 30 some hunters. The bear population had been going down so a few years with reduced tags will increase the bear numbers in a short time. The success rate went up this year as we could spread the baits out even more. It was a lot more relaxed atmosphere this year with the reduced number of hunters. |

If you can take the time off to bear hunt, put in for kill tag as you never know what the DNR will give out for tags. |
