Bear Swamp in Zone 5 anyone hunt there?

I am itching to start bowing. I did some scouting and saw lots of bear droppings. Anyone have success at the Swamp? Thanks

Better have a good lawyer if you're gonna shoot a bear.

I was scouting for deer and saw bear droppings. I intend to shoot deer not bear.

Zone 5 has its share of bears 8pt. I bowhunted a few times by Jenny Jump a few years back. Some good deer up there.

I'm in zone 11. Good luck and welcome to the boards.

I run my coon hounds in Bear swamp. There are a bunch of deer in there. Last week we walked past 2 bucks ( not to mention all the does!!) laying there.
One was a 10, the other a 6.
