Newfoundland Black Bear HuntsA dry branch popped. To Chuck Brigner, on the second of what he hoped would be many Newfoundland black bear hunts, it sounded like a pistol shot in the cold, evening, Newfoundland stillness.
"They know that the baits work best are the baits that are pre-planned. Plus the best baiting is done near a creek, stream, or other water source as we are here." "Better outfitters will have baiting set ups over a widespread area to not wear a given area out." "It's funny," Chuck noted without taking his eyes of the bait. Waiting for a glimpse of whatever it was that was cracking branches like twigs. "Bears are junk food junkies. They love their sweets. Honey, peanut butter, cookies, pastries." Brigner explained, "Typically 55 gallon drums are used to store the stash. Holes cut in the sides allow the bear, just not total access - if you know what I mean. So they can't take the goodies and run. They have to linger. In other words 'No eating and running allowed'. No raiders of the lost bait either!" "The idea is that sooner or later they'll lose some of their wariness. And stick around enjoy their goodies! So guys like me can take a pop at them. Geez I love Newfoundland black bear hunts!"
