RE: All Pa bear hunters please read
I heard that the albino bear was actually only partly covered in white.
Bear Hunting In Pennsylvania
SUCKS unless you know where the bears are.
Lot's of hunters used bait to kill their bears - hence it gave bear hunting in my neck of the woods a black eye.
If you wanted to hunt bears, you should have came down and hunted bears.
The PGC traps lot's of bears and transports them across the state line and keeps them in the traps until bear season is over.
Next time I go to the holding area, I will take pictures.
You would be better off in my opinion to just apply for a ELK permit.
$10 a year x 20 years is still only $200
+ $100 and some for a license and $500 - $1000 for a guide to take you out and pack the elk back to the hard road.
It's still not a bad deal!
