Title: Bear in monroe with an old guy!
Post by: Tjajwilson on July 30, 2015, 10:53:23 AM: My wife's best friends Dad lives in Monroe and he has had Bears come into his front yard in the past. Well he has asked me if I could come over and hunt with him for bears. I've never hunted bears before neither has he (mostly deer and ducks, geese). I have read that the wet side has lots of bears but I don't know the "ok to hunt areas". :dunno: Any advise? I don't have a lot of study time or scouting time as they asked me yesterday >:(
