Your location says Trumbull County so I just assumed you hunted in OH. What part of PA do you hunt in? I'm in the west central part of the state, not far from Punxsutawney. There are bears in this area but not like in Potter or Clinton counties. Our bear archery season starts tomorrow and I plan to sit in the same stand where I shot the buck which is near my orchard. I've seen bears there somewhat regularly, just never in any bear hunting season. Go figure. Still quite a few apples and pears hanging on so maybe that will attract them. They do have a bad habit of snapping the limbs off some of the trees, especially the only Granny Smith apple tree.
