well good for you guys, as I said in case you's missed it, I said, if your happy, good for you. that's all that matters
I again also said, as weather gets colder and food become less, a BIG bear MIGHT have showed up in day time at his bait pile
and SHOOT a small one, on ONE day of hunting, isn't going to get him a BIG one
what I do is MY right and what you do is your right, as long as its legal I guess that's all that matters
as for my trophy room, yes I do have a few very large things, worked very hard to get them and passed on a TON of smaller things to also get them
AS for bear hunting,
I have hunted bear alone MANY MANY MANY times and PASSED on smaller one's in PA's 3 day bear season
as again that was MY choice, maybe NOT your's
BUT again back to the
" you will never " GET A big ONE IF YOU SHOOT SMALL ONE'S "
if all you want ius to SHOOT a bear, have at it
I don't want a mounted animal that isn't much bigger than my dog in my house.camp or cabin?
again MY right
you all do as you please
I wasn't bashing on the OP
Was just saying what MY experience has learned about bear movements in the fall and how they change there feeding patterns!
