Who has harvested bear during a modern deer hunt?

I'm interested in knowing who on this board has harvested a bear during a modern dear hunt. I'm putting this on the bear forum and probably should be putting it on the deer but...oh well. I haven't harvested a bear yet but always pick up a tag just in case. Would like to do some bear only scouting/hunting but due to schedule...deer have taken priority.
Interested in all your thoughts on the subject...thanks!

My first bear was during modern firearm for deer (she was eating maggots off an old coug kill, you can see the deer leg on the ground if you look close). Havent looked back since! Love bear hunting~!
While I havent seen many during modern firearm, I would still pick up a tag.....
If you can go out, now is the time. Black berries are everywhere and bears are packing on the pounds.
Good luck this season.

I have not yet, but the area I hunt for deer has bear scat every 100 yards or so on the logging roads, so I am going to get a bear tag this year and if I happen to see a bear it's

Actually I think 80% of bear taken are from another big game season. Most don't go "bear" hunting like us here

If you turn this into a poll it will work better for you.

I shot my first bear during general season this year, Friday evening, in fact. A color phase cinnamon with blonde in the shoulder. I was pretty excited!! I had a second deer whitetail doe tag to fill and took him the first nite. Filled my doe tag Sunday morning. Nov 1-20 I have my buck deer late draw tag to fill for a whitetail. It will be my first whitetail buck. Pretty excited! I don't have pictures yet because I don't have a computer or internet in the house and don't know how to get pictures to photobucket from my android phone.

I about did this weekend. A nice small cinnamon. Waited a little too long to see if there were cubs, and when the wind changed...... well no cubs and no bear.
