The important point for bear hunters is that chocolate, in large enough quantities, can cause sickness and even death in bears, as well as dogs. Hunters should be aware that darker chocolates such as baker’s chocolate are more dangerous, whereas milk chocolate is less dangerous. Extra care should be taken to avoid all dark chocolates and limit the use of milk chocolate. Given the numerous other options for use in bear baits, hunters should be encouraged to consider using alternative items when baiting for bears. These alternative baiting materials are just as effective as chocolate yet pose little risk to bears and other wildlife. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!
