Black Bear
Over the past several years, we have experienced an ever expanding population of Black Bear. In the past, the bear were typically transient in nature, spending limited amounts of time on the property. However with the start of the apple orchard, the bear have become problem and sightings of bear on the property are now common. To address this issue, we are offering a property lease for up to two hunters during the Black Bear hunting season, though a single hunter is fine.

The cost of the 2024 Black Bear lease is $1,000 or $500/hunter for two hunters. A 50% non-refundable down payment of the lease fee holds your reservation. The balance of the lease fee is due prior to the start date for baiting. The lease will run from the beginning of the 2024 Black Bear baiting season, (8/10/2024, typical), and ends the day before the opening of the 2024 archery deer season, 9/14/24. Any legal firearm, gun or archery, as defined by the MN DNR is allowed for taking one Bear.

We have identified a few bait sites on the property that have produced the best bear activity and have located a dedicated tree stand at one spot. You may establish up to two bait stations and must provide bait and do the baiting. Bait stations will need to be registered with the DNR by the leasee.
