We hunted two days out of our camp in northern Clearfield Co., and none of us (six hunters) saw a bear. I've seen them around camp all summer, but no luck Mon. or Tues. Several of our guys hunted around the tornado area off Shaggers Inn Rd. That place was a real hotspot for several years, but has beenmgetting poorer as time goes on. One of our guys talked to another hunter there, and he saw one, but never got a shot. He said it was a nice-sized one. The mast crop was pretty good at camp and over by the tornado area this year, but has been spotty other places. The chestnut oaks on my property at home never bore this year, but the red oaks right beside them had a nice crop. Go figure. Lots of beechnuts too. Tues. late P.M. I took a ride over to the check station at S.B. Elliott State Park, and they had 77 bear in there Mon. The biggest I saw logged in was one at 469 or 489 lbs. live weight. Must have been some groanin' going on getting that one out of the woods. The shooting was about normal, but I think the coyotes are getting whacked at too. Sure couldn't complain about the weather............
