I have not seen a bear in 3 weeks or so but see snakes on a day to day basis here in east TN

So with close to 1000 Minn bear hunters not being able to come up north to at least in Manitoba to hunt what is that going to do to your system down there.

Saw these two next to the road this past weekend.

Nothing at all. You needed to apply earlier this spring for a fall tag. MN has no spring season so the next possible impact would be the fall of 2021.

Seems like the flies push them and the deer out in the open more, to get a little relief from the wind. May also be the bears need to eat green this time of year to help regulate their digestive system, just like beaver do. I have seen lots of garter snakes around the ponds last couple weeks. As dry as it's been I'm guessing they are coming to the water also, where there is no shortage of bugs.
Beaver pups are out and about some now too. Got this monster this morning.

You could have some of our rain from down here in southern MN. We have had plenty.

Dang that bear hasn’t been missing any chow...

You think the snakes are eating the bears?

Nothing dry about June up here in northern Mn,over 10" in June and 1.5" for the start of July.I've seen a few snakes,but bears are everywhere this year,i've seen 25 so far since the 25th of April.Normally i get a bear tag every third year,this year i missed drawing a tag,i wish the DNR would managed the bear's and not the hunters.

Both properties I had bait sites last year have bears on them this year and they keep showing up on camera, i live in a county that borders the Mississippi River and did not draw a tag this year

Ric,
We are 3.87" low of average now for June. May wasn't much better. Hardly any skeeters and tons of tics, deer flies aplenty.

I'm just saying those hunters that went up north are going to apply for tags down the road, so depending on your scaling in the draw may get moved a couple of notches back now.

Rally I remember those tanned small beaver are just the right size for covers for the toilet seat, too bad you cant process them, real seller in the Whitehouse Taxidermist shop. Paid more per square inch than a wolverine pelt went for....go figure tourist dollars are sometimes easy to harvest.

Drought codes are at an all time high in the arrowhead and I have heard 7 inch rain deficits. The boats and planes are finding rocks that haven’t been seen before.

And it seems the Corp of Engineers is trying to drain the Mississippi!

Yeah! All the carp down south are suffering and need a drink.
