Default RE: All you bear hunters (black bear)....Why not NC?

Thanks New, I know I didn't remember seeing a bear tag on my license. Yes Jeff, that is still a bargain considering. It then comes down to numbers of bear per mile etc...that's why many travel to Canada, regardless of cost etc, the numbers are amazing. PA has some huge black bears, records boasting into the 800 lb ranges and many are taken every year over 700lbs. however the odds are highly against ever seeing a bear in our 3 day season or even the week of buck in those areas where bear stay in. It's a numbers thing. I've never purchased a PA bear license. I shot my bow bear in Quebec.
