There use to be and probably still is a dump between Arnold and Watson. They would trap the bears there and come release them on our property, about 10 miles away. The bears would make it back to the dump in just a matter of days and they would start all over again. LOL. We had a lot of smaller bears (visual) on our property and a few large tracks, maybe 300-400 lbs. from time to time. The pat hunting was great at our place in September and probably in October too but, that's bow season. Seen fox and coyote almost daily and a piebald doe would come eat at our front window with her 2 babies. I wish my parents had been more responsible with the picture boxes and posessions, these are things I'd sure love to share visually with people...........
