Title: Reminder...Bear hunters
Post by: billythekidrock on July 31, 2008, 06:05:26 AM: Take lots of pics of everything.
Field photos.
Bear sign.
Bear food such as berries, stumps, carcasses.
If you are successfull make sure to take photos of the stomach contents. At the very least open up the stomach to report what they are eating.

Oh yea, and have fun.

Going to start with my bow, and switch later in the season, though if I see a worthy bear, I may use the rifle right away!

Title: Re: Reminder...Bear hunters
Post by: snagglepants on July 31, 2008, 08:57:24 AM: So, as far as electronic calls go, I am reading the regs as if they are only illegal if you are hunting: Deer, Turkey, or Waterfowl. Is that correct? Thanks
