Bear Book Info

Doc's unique method of hunting black bears — from a tree stand, at close range, over a bait crib, using positioning bait — has grown into the one of the top two methods of hunting black bears (the other using a pack of hounds).

 

Dr. Ken Nordberg's do-it-yourself Black Bear Baiting & Hunting, First Edition

It all started with Doc's first bear book, published in 1990. This book quickly became the bear hunter's bible.

 

Dr. Ken Nordberg's do-it-yourself Black Bear Baiting & Hunting, Revised 2001 Edition

In 2001, Doc updated his bear book. The main improvements in technique revolved around using “Bait Cribs” rather than “Bait Pits,” and the great innovation Doc call's “Positioning Bait” — this helps the bear hunter to get the perfect shot. After the last printing of this edition sold out, the prices of used 1st and 2nd editions skyrocketed on ebay and Amazon. There were copies selling for well over $100.

In 2014, Doc updated his bear book again. However, because of skyrocketing printing costs Doc decided to make his Third Edition an ebook. This is a great ebook with integrated color photos and HD video.

 

Dr. Ken Nordberg's do-it-yourself Black Bear Baiting & Hunting, Fourth Edition Info

While many hunters love the Third Edition (an Apple iBook version), there were many requests for an Amazon Kindle version. In 2017, in this Fourth Edition, Doc updated his bear book again to be compatible for Amazon and the Kindle. However, this version does not have integrated color photos and HD video, so there is an optional DVD that has those.

Again, this DVD only has color photos and HD videos that are not included in the 4th Edition of Doc's bear book, the one sold on Amazon. If you purchase just this DVD, without the ebook, you will probably be disappointed.

 

Dr. Ken Nordberg's do-it-yourself Black Bear Baiting & Hunting, Fourth Edition DVD Info

Doc has printed his next bear book — his Fifth Edition — in paperback form. $29.95 (It includes a companion DVD almost identical to the Fourth Edition DVD shown above.) The books are arriving from the printer today! (8/1/2018) Purchase your copy as soon as possible here (on ebay)!
