I'm no Gary Alt
(inside PA joke)......but I believe Outdoorsman260 is correct, only pregnant females hibernate.
I had one follow me on an old abandonded road thru one of my favorite bowhunting spots about 14 years ago......stayed just inside the tree line and kept "Woofing" at me......followed my butt about a mile, IN THE DARK!!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>
I was afraid to run.....but I was pretty sure my trusty Bear "Whitetail Hunter" would have protected me.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
