A bear will investigate any number of smells in their search for food. You are free to use your best judgement. If I were you I would call the PGC headquarters in Hbg and ask one of the officers in the Bureau of wildlife protection and be guided by that since I am retired an no longer receive the enforcement bulletins.
They moved it to Deer Archery for the whole state. So do you really think it will be in the Hunting Digest that you can't hunt Deer and Bear with Deer scent in your area.I would hope so, but I doubt it. Im going to call Harrisburg and I can't wait to hear the answer.
