Acorns and Bears

After several years of avidly hunting bear over bait, there are a handful of things that still baffle me. Matter of fact, I think there are questions about bear behavior to which we may never know the answer. Here is the one that has been plaguing me lately: Why will a bear abandon a site that provides him with fresh beef tallow, sunflower seeds, pastries, chocolate-covered cherries and bacon grease every day to go eat acorns?

Assessing a bear hunt situation

Knowing how to handle a bear hunt situation can be crucial to success or possible going home empty handed.

A Polar Bear Speaks

I am Nanook. At least that's what the Eskimos call me. You probably know me better as the polar bear. I also go by the name of ice bear or sea bear.

I'm famous all over the world but especially in Canada where they even have my image on the back of their 2 dollar coin. That's probably because 60 percent of my extended polar bear family lives there. The rest of them live in Alaska, Norway, Greenland and Russia...
