PA Bear Harvest Way Down
Well, there's still some extended seasons running... But the statewide harvest is way down compared to the past decade. My guess is the nasty weather Saturday kept allot of people out of the woods. I put full day in Saturday and Monday up in Clinton County then had to head for home to take care of some stuff before thanksgiving and leaving for deer camp.
Showing as 2,296 bears currently for all combined seasons statewide. That number would typically be up over 3,000
2016 was over 3,500. 2015 was 3,700. 2014 was 3,371 then, 3510, 3632, 4350, 3090,
Six bears over 600lbs and one right at 700lbs.
Hopefully that means there will be plenty running around for me next year!
