    Getting a bear is on my bucket list! We have an open season here but not an abundant population.

    I've hunted bear here in PA for years.....
    Came close to sealing the deal a few times, the big group I used to hint with up at camp, we'd get a couple every year. Some were big ones too!

    Nice bear!!

    Come to Maine. We need to kill more that what we have been. Population is getting too high.
