I will be moving to Idaho for 4 months in April. I am interested in doing some black bear hunting with my bow while I am there. I will be living in Meridian, ID it is just west of Boise. The sections that I am close to are 32,38,39 and 40. I have looked in the regulation books but only see one section (section 39) with a season for black bear. I am more than likely looking at this wrong so feel free to correct me. I did see a controlled hunt in section 32 and 32a that I think I will apply for but not sure how likely it is for me to draw a tag.
What is the best way to hunt these bears with a bow? Over bait? calling at them with a distress call...etc??? I have never hunted bear and being from Missouri I have no prior knowledge of what to expect or how to effectively go about hunting black bear. Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
