Title: Bear Hunting
Post by: AJ Howard on November 27, 2017, 09:24:36 PM

I love bear hunting and have been trying to learn more and more every year that I hunt. Any tips? Suggestions? Places on the west or east side of the state that hold big bear populations? I love backpacking too - so not scared to put in some miles.

Probably the best investment you could make:

The book pointed to by blacktail is written by saylean on this forum. It’s an awesome book. I read it this year & will read it again come spring.
