RE: Dealing with black bears while deer hunting
jerseyhunter,
I am hunting in Rockaway, in Zone 6. Never hunted the area before so not sure what kind of deer are in the area. Lost my property to hunt in Zone 5, so this was always my backup that I never hunted.
I was screwing in a treestep, when I looked up and noticed the clawmarks about an inch from my face. Should be an interesting year.
