Title: anyone still bear hunting?
Post by: tgomez on November 13, 2014, 09:48:47 PM

Was thinking of going bear hunting Saturday for the last day of bear hunting. What's the likelihood of seeing a bear this late in the year when it's been this cold lately? Is it a waste of my time to give it a go? Or shoot I give it a go? Please let me know what you opinion is. Thanks :tup:

My wife got a nice cinnamon colored one last Saturday. This is the best time of the year to get one. He had an awesome hide. He is getting rugged as we speak.
