The bear hunt began in Minnesota on Thursday, September 1 and continues through October 16. Glen Schmitt from Outdoor News joined me at WJON. He says that most of the bears shot in Minnesota are shot the first 2 weekends of the season. Schmitt says they’ll have a pretty good idea early in the season of what the season will look like. Schmitt explains that while more bears are being seen in central Minnesota lately, most bears are found and shot in northern Minnesota. Bear hunting information from the Minnesota DNR below.<\/p>\n
