Title: bearless to date
Post by: duckmen1 on March 19, 2010, 02:16:03 PM: hopefully this year will change, i've gotten onto a couple bears in the last several years but never had a clear shot
2 years ago in august i hunted 17 day that month without seeing a bear
last year i jump a bear two days straight at twenty yards and didnt get a shot due to thick cover
maybe this year will be my lucky year

Keep at it. The key is food so focus on learning the primary food sources in those areas.
