bears are still active here, all these darn temps swings, has them all messed up anymore
it was 70 on Monday here, 11 degree on Tuesday, and calling for temps back up in the 50's next week
I had a female bear get hit by a vehicle, and now have two cubs hanging out at my place, as well as a third orphaned cub that was orphaned back in June
another female with 2 cubs, and two small male bears
so, that makes 11 bears here still NOT denned up.
our traditional Bear season starts again i beginning of Dec too, , and with these warm temps anymore, a lot of them females that would normally be denned up, will be active
the state want's to drop bear numbers, and this yr they sure are going to with DOUBLE the amount of hunting days, hope they don;t get MORE Than they wanted and end up on the flip side of bear numbers
I know my local hunting clubs by me, that normally get 1-2 bears , have gotten 6 so far this yr and the main season hasn't started yet ?
But bears here are still very active and out and about!
