MN Bear How Big???
30 minutes to St Paul makes it metro to me. but maybe I am wrong. I have only harvested 2 bears in my career. I shot my first bear 20 years ago and I thought it was a giant when i saw it... it was 125 lbs. The second one's belly almost rubbed the ground ended up being a 14.5 year old dry sow...- miles

MN Bear How Big???
Maybe this will help I am 5'9" and 210 lbs with a 30 inseam... Seems like everyone is across the board. He is big enough for me, I am hoping I get a chance at him so we can get a real weight. I figure for hunting the metro area of MN harvesting a self guided bear is an accomplishment.- miles

Metro area black bear... Bait is getting hit but not regularly yet. Anyone care to guess the size? The barrels are 35 gal and the ground slopes down and away from them.- miles

OYO Silver salmon fishing in Alaska?
Anchor river has great fishing early Aug... you can camp right on the river and do a half day halibut charter. You can also go into homer and fish the fishing hole on the spit I guess it was overflowing with silvers, jacks and kings this year.- miles

MN No Quota Help!!!
41 I haven't even been out since opener. With the heat and the bait not being hit I figured I would let it cool off. I am heading out tomorrow to check again and decide from there on what I do. Let me know how the honey burn works for ya. I am probably going to try the same thing. Good luck.- miles
