Also, there is a facebook page "PA black bear hunters" that has allot of members and tons of bear pictures. It's worth checking out if anyone is on facebook.

Thanks Bocajnala. I found this Bear HoneyHole last Duck season on the Delaware State Forest. It's a old Strip mine hole that the Beavers dammed up and its a great Wood Duck spot. The back end of this Hole has a Swamp next to it. There's a 100 yard strip of woods in between the lake/Hole and swamp. Its a classic funnel for the Bears to get to the big woods on both sides. The Game trails going thru this funnel is UnFRICKING real. It.s also a great Deer spot also. I had a 12pt Buck walk by me 11am the day I shot my Bear. I will be hunting this spot on Monday Gun . Its a 2 1/2 mile walk into this spot and a short canoe ride across the lake to the back side funnel. I can shoot a Bear in Pike county on Monday, but I don't know if I will. I had my chance with the Bow and the Bears won. Good Luck Monday if you get out and Be Safe!! Shoot a BIG ONE!!!
