Bears reclaim land near shrinking towns, hunting economy grows

18.05.12

In this part of Wisconsin, just a few miles from lake superior, the easiest way to bag a bear is with bear bait.

“Yeah, I’m the bear chef today, cooking enough of the good stuff, caramel in here,” says Adam Noskoviak, 22, as he mixes bear bait, which he will dump in the woods, where the bear learn to expect these sweet and fattening treats.

“Sundae best chocolate flavored cone coating, that’ll be my topping,” he says.

With so few ways to make a living up here locals have turned black bear into a job. Adam's dad and step-mom run a bear camp. The season only lasts a few weeks. So they work around the clock to make the most of it.

“It's hard to even find time for a shower, you know. But you gotta make hay when the sun shines,” says Mike Noskoviak, Adam’s dad. Mike runs the family business Superior Guides and Outfitters, a few miles south of the Lake Superior port city of Ashland, Wisconsin.

At his bear camp half a dozen hunters are hoping for a big bear and a good story. Like 24- year-old Stephanie Nolan. Mike took Stephanie deep in the woods. He laid the bait, helped her up into a tree stand, and left her to wait.
