hello, can i kindly comment on bear..mr.alt did not do anything i can see to make this bear state..lets go back in time..back in 60s,i hunted bear in wmu2g..there was lots of BIG BEAR..you could only get 1 per crew..we left many of bear go because they were notreal big waiting for a big one in 350 and up area..

in bitumen in 1969 we had over 23 bear in a 1 mile area, yes 23 bear..i fed 1 of the biggest bears in state killed then..back then you could not kill a baby bear..most hunters would not kill a mother bear with cubs..

now on to today.. bears are not as big as they are not left to grow up.. yes, we are killing more bear but over half are small in 40 pd to 125 pd bears ..yes, alt did do something,he allowed cubs to be killed..

so, you look at counts and say, boy ,pa has a ton of bears..we always did but difference is we did not kill cubs..

you also have 10 times bear hunters now than they did wayback..most in my area did not hunt bear,only deer..

i will not comment on what i think of cub killing..it was done for 2 reasons,1 to reduce complaints from citizens but the real big reason was LICENSE SALES..it all is about MONEY!!
