Good 'ol MA gun laws... Gotta love em, eh guys?
Saw another lanky bruin yesterday out by the Pittsfield State Forest. My guess is aroun 175lb or so...
My brother in law saw a sow w/ 2 cubs cross the road in Tyringham 2 days ago.

Some of the best bear hunting around.

yep looks like i have to put in for zone 7,wasnt the few chossng ones,for 4s

After all this Bear talk, i applied for a permit.
Hopefully, they have some left.
I want to give this a try, so i guess i will head out to the berkshires,
and do some homework.
Should be fun!

You'll enjoy it BBA.... Give Beartown State forest a serious try.

Wasn't the deadline July 17th or soemthing like that??

Jf5,
I put in for mine online, don't know if they have any left or not.
But i will find out soon enough.
WMH,
Thanks for the heads up on Beartown, i will check it out.

I would guess you could go to your local MassWildlife Field HQ. You can probably buy one there still.

I'm not going to be able to fit any bear hunting in this years hunting schedual but I have already marked in my calender for next year. I am happy to hear that there is a large population in Fla. Ma as I own some property there and a cabin. I have not seen any bear there tho but I haven't spent much time there in the past 20 years or so. So next year I'll spend a little time at the cabin and poke around a little. Mike

I got my bear permit in the mail today!
Now i have to do some serious homework!
WMH, thanks for the info, looking forward to checking that place out.

Brian

Maybe you'll intercept a bear heading into someone's bait.....
