The title says most of it
To elaborate further, I'm hunting blackbear and had absolutely ZERO success in the North Bay area (Baited the area for 2 weeks and nothing but fat racoons. 5 baits, 3 baitsites with at least 20-30km between them) I've had success in Parrysound but mostly in French River. But I just do not have the time to make that drive, if I could hunt in Bruce peninsula successfully I could make a couple weekend trips instead.
I've been told they are in the North side so this weekend I placed baits along the western side on the north half but I'll be lucky to check them next week. 2 of the baitsites had bear signs (s***) by them, otherwise I just went to plots of bush that looked like a bear would dwell in. Any tips fellas?

We hunted the BP years ago for spring bear with great success. We looked for huge tracts of bush and got permission from landowners. Most were cow/calf operations that welcomed you with open arms if you wanted to hunt bear as the bears are hard on the calves in the spring and also mess up the grain fields in the fall.
We often saw multiple bears at one bait but that was in the spring...don’t know what it would be like in the fall but I can’t see any reason it wouldn’t work.
Bruce Peninsula hunting tips?, Want to hunt fall blackbear in BP.
