- In early 2022 I was able to spend a couple hours with Andy Tri. Andy is the leader of the Minnesota Black Bear Research Project. Black Bear research in Minnesota has been ongoing since the late 1970's and early 1980's. Through Bear collaring, tons of valuable information has been gained about Minnesota's Black Bear population. Andy shares his vast knowledge of Minnesota's Black Bears and their history, and what he hopes for the future!

This is what I'm talking about!!! I am so excited to watch this this afternoon. Factual evidence not speculation super cool thank you for doing this I'd like to see you do this for all game please and thank you
There will be alot more in the future, hopefully this winter I will be able to make a wolf video.
@@After5Outdoors you have wolves too runnin about.??..where in the usa are you from bro.?

Long but packed with a lot of information. I don’t hunt bears but i found it very informative
Ya need to start bear hunting
Awesome information... Thank you!
You're very welcome
very knowledgeable man. I learned a few things. these animals are so interesting. thank you Cody for taking the time to provide this video to us!
I learned alot from him 4 sure!
Absolutely enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.
I enjoy making these, since 2020 it's not been so easy with the state rules, but it's much easier now. Thx for checking it out
Awesome interview Cody! I think this has been my favorite of all time! Really great job buddy 😊🇺🇸🔥👍
Thank you. It was a really interesting discussion to be apart of!
Very interesting and informative. Thank you.
Thanks for checking it out!
Great information shared! I live in Canada and noticed that big boar only showed up on our cam at night. I did harvest a decent sized boar but never did see the monster one in the day.
Fantastic! Loved this factual, detailed info. I was particularly interested in the mortality rate of cubs. I didn’t know more females survive than males. The reason for it makes sense.
The boys are always getting in trouble
This is an absolutely fantastic interview. I wish they'd do a second one
Maybe in the future. We can make something happen
Wow, he's got a ton of knowledge. Cool video.
I sure learned a lot of things that I didn't know about bears! A ton of great facts and and knowledge shared here!! I can't wait to hear the story on bear #56!
Here it is!

@@After5Outdoors I already watched that lol!
Then you know the story of bear 56 lol
Watching you from Arkansas! Great, great, video!! We have a excellent population and it is a really exciting venue, thank you so much for providing information that educates us on such a magnificent animal!!! Hunting and conservation go hand in hand, let’s continue to show we care!!!
Thanks for posting this.
I'm against hunting personally but I as a bear enthusiast wanted to hear both a biologist/ecologist and an experienced hunter's opinions on the subject.
I've heard of some hunters from other states participate in some horrible behaviors so it's nice to hear there are some sane hunters.
I've heard of people specifically targeting studies to keep ear tags as trophies and poachers basically driving up to the dept. to drop off a collar from a bear they poached at the entrance and leave before getting caught.
Targeting bears that were rehabbed in sanctuaries just to spite sanctuary workers...
Traps that cause nasty infections/amputations, slow suffering and other horror stories.
One thing I believe wasn't mentioned is males predating on cubs just so the female will enter estrus (heat) and breed.
Happens more often with brown bears but from what I've seen/heard black bears do that too.
There's bad apples in every bunch. But most hunters are pretty good
@@CordeliaAurorawhat??!! I think these are likely anecdotes you're hearing of/about, or really outlier examples, because I'm sure what you've described has/does happen, but is quite rare.
The rangers and game management do an excellent job in almost every area of curtailing this sort of behavior. I am a strong proponent of hunting and the acts you're hearing of are examples of absolute depravity.
👍✌️ from Missouri!!! :)
Affter- Good night.thank you!unusual editing~talk you later!
😴
Here listening- great info! 😊👍❤️
Thank you!
Incredible video! The subject of bears is of great interest to me. I live in the Kootenay region of British Columbia, in the city of Nelson. We have a large number of bears living in our city. I don't like it, but the save the bear folks are the loudest. One park within the city was closed for months last fall as 7 bears were living there. This spring, it's closed again because a mama with her cubs are living there.
We even had a mama grizzly with her two offspring living in town. For now, the strategy is no kill. I think it might lead to a serious attack.
Hunting is the best partner in population management. Thank you for taking time to drop us a note
Yes, the good old days when a bear in town was a dead bear, and people ate the meat.
I wonder how humans would feel watching bears explain humans with human skulls on the video 😂
Guess we'll never know
Great advise, thanks for sharing
You bet!
Thank you guys for taking the time to put this together! A lot of information to soak in. A little different from Alaska bears as far as the effects on ungulates. We do have grizzly and blacks that take moose calves and in our area studies have shown that the bears take as much as 40% of moose calves every year.
I wonder if grizzlies are more prone to br carnivores then black bear?
@@After5Outdoors I think so, but they study always seemed to indicate that the behavior was learned and a few bears did the majority of predation in the study area.
I love bears and I learned a lot from your video. Thanks so much. They are fascinating creatures.
Had no idea that bears can migrate! Thats so interesting!
There's so many interesting things in the animal world!
Hey After 5 Outdoors, thanks for this great info! I love in bear country in Conifer, CO. Wondering what do our bears eat instead of acorns....pinecone?
Grass, berries, big part of bears diet is vegetation. But they will for sure target elk calves, deer fawns etc
People who think black bear aren't dangerous are idiots. I had one try to kill me luckily I was armed.
It's not that they aren't dangerous, they're just typically not very aggressive.
OK I have a few questions so since global climate warming our waters have been either on a increase and decrease how do bears cool down and where else do they get water when there is very little or no water
Minnesota has 10,000 lakes, plenty of water
@After5Outdoors hi so I do have one favor to ask if you do bear regulations again mention about state forest of what we can do for like our deer stands and game cameras hope you have a great day
Do they eat ginseng
Baiting is not a challenge. Un fair advantage for the hunter. Now a days too easy for people to kill animal. Think it should be hard to kill an animal, no easier considering there is more demand.
Obviously you have never hunted black bear then. It isn't automatic, in fact the success rate is quite low
Yes i havnt. Just seems like a cheese way to hunt.
You are aware of what assumptions make, right
@@After5Outdoors Ya you are right. I do not know. But I do know all the hunting gadgets now a days, makes it easier to hunt then it did 30 years ago. The Indians use to have to hunt a dear with a knife as initiation. I am told from Apache Indian. This is not about survival, that you need to kill the bear to eat. It's about sport mostly. And the animal should have the advantage. Remember a fact that 70 percent of the quantity of animals on the Earth since the 70's are gone. Should give them more of a respectful kill.
@omegaomtv if the govt would allow me to hunt them with a spear, I most definitely will. If I choose to eat what I harvest from the land, that is what I choose to do. If you choose to go to a grocery store, then that is your choice. I choose to be present through the process and not just eat food off the shelf
@@After5Outdoors If you do it for food then that is a different story, you are eating to survive. Most hunters don't they buy steaks in the grocery store too. I do neither, cause technology makes that so.
When there is world wide food shortages, you will see the hunters take to the woods and hunt all the animals to extinction. Our lack of respect for the environment is coming back on us very soon.
@omegaomtv hunters are the biggest contributors to conservation. I would disagree with you
😢
Why cant you make it a law you cant shoot collared bears That seems like a big illogical waste of resources to capture and tag a bear to only have it shot. This is very unscientific. Might as well not even tag them, use the money for something more productive.
Lets say i am fishing in pa.. and a bear is near me what do i do??? A black bear and a 500 pound one!!! Am i dead?????
California US, was once full of Grizzly bear...but they were killing n eating too many ppl...so..one had to go..
The bear lost..
Man should ALWAYS win..
This is not true. They were hunted for sport, trophy and fur.
@@davissmith9723 I'm talking about the grizzly that doesn't exist anymore, they were hunted out of existence BECAUSE they were ppl....don't forget, buildings, were different, dirt roads existed, not tarmac, life was different in every way...CA was once a bear heaven, & they hunted it, BECAUSE of the fact they were killing ppl...because ppl were moving into the bears territory..
The bear lost.
