We also heard far less vehicle traffic. I only saw one other hunter the whole time out.
Yet I've seen in the paper that the first and second days was number 2 in the record books? I don't believe that for a second.
ON the bright side however, I saw a lot of other game. Squirrels, turkey and even a few deer, including a couple nice buck I wouldn't mind dropping the hammer on. But not a bear to be found. Not even any scat. But acorns everywhere?

7 to 9 bears were killed in your area on monday.5 were cubs and 2 mothers.i just hate to hear that.all were killed on monday.a lot of bears were checked in monday.3 years ago i left mother and 2 cubs go ,i just could not shoot her.

i wonder if hunters know that the cubs lay on mothers body or go up a tree.
