[QUOTE="Trapper62, post: 329698, member: 516"] We had another great Minnesota bear hunt this year, after my daughter's big one last year we had something to shoot for, we didn't top hers but had a blast. We always hunt over baits but once in a while when traveling between baits checking them you see the odd bear, that's how I got mine this year. Saw him at about 400 yards, snuck to within 40 steps and shot him with my 45-70 single shot. Even though I had a rifle and not a bow in my hands I was compelled to see if I could get close, it was a definite rush for me. Buddies ran off into the thick willows, had about a 150 yard drag out of the woods to a trail and then about a quarter mile to the pickup, lot of work but it was satisfying work!
