Well, like deer hunting, scouting pays off big dividends. If your not in bear territory, you won't see bears so early scouting trips are necessary. Once you identify bear sign, tracks, scat etc...you have bears. In PA, baiting of course is illegal so there are just a couple legal ways to hunt them. You can sit on stand and hope a bear comes by, you can team up with a gang and drive bears the same way you'd drive deer and you can still hunt your way around the woods hoping to come across a bear. That's it in a nut shell. IF you've done your homework, you might get lucky.
