RE: Speaking of bears........
Bears are on my list of game that I would like to hunt someday. I'd try both over bait and spot & stalk, just to have both experiences. I think spot and stalk with bow or handugn would be neat. I pretty much have to go out of state to hunt them due to our odd bear season.
I know when I was in Idaho and had a small cinnamon with a white chest patch strolling down the trail to me, I was wishing I had a bear tag. Or at least my camera.Honestly though I'm not sure if I would have shot it. While being a really beautiful, unique looking critter, it was on the small side.
