my local news paper had a thing on how bear population is rising quickly in my local area, it said even though we dont have as many bears then alot of other usa states they are growing at a high rate, i live in virginia and ive never seen a bear in my life, EVER! im a huge hunter of deer and turkey, and if i do deside to bear hunt this spring (and put my .300 ultra mag to use) were do i go to find one? hilly places? fields? dense forest?...is there some needed traveling because va isnt home to many bears?
a population map would be nice if some one has one!
