Anyone got a bear hunt planned in NC for this season? Got a few questions I'd like to ask...

RE: NC bear hunt

i hunt bears in the nc mountians every year

RE: NC bear hunt

What's the preferred hunting method there? Running dogs, baiting, hunting over trails leading to food/bedding?

RE: NC bear hunt

some like to hunt with dogs baiting is ilegal in nc i like to stalk and just sit in areas where bears are if you get far enough away from the roads you can have pertty good luck i get one every year

RE: NC bear hunt

Thanks. Was supposed to be hunting down there the 2nd week of Nov. w/ a member of this board, but apparently it fell through. Maybe next year...

I'll be in Maggie Valley and Cherokeeon Oct.15-25.

RE: NC bear hunt

I dont want to invite myself on a trip or anything, but would anybody be willing to show me the ropes???I am taking the entire Muzzle Loader season off (from Oct 8-16) and if I could squeeze a bear hunt in there, I would be psyched. I am in the Camp Lejeune area, and would be willing to make a drive, it is is feasible for a day trip. Can you even take a bear during those times??

maggie valley's a nice place. i've spent a few weeks there the last few years. have you ever been to the maggie valley resteraunt???

RE: NC bear hunt

We go to Joey's across from the Johnathan Creek Motel. We have been to
Blue Grass Resturant, but did not like it. We have been to Maggie Valley
Resturant many times. Sometimes we go to Ammons in Waynesville, just
up the road from Maggie Valley. Sometimes we go to Cherokee.

RE: NC bear hunt

i think i've been to the johnathan creek motel before. the maggie valley resturaunt is a very good place i think. i didn't go the last time i went but the last time i was there it was very good. have you been to the big steakhouse.... i can't think of it's name. it's pretty much an absolutely huge log cabin type thing. j. arthurs maybe... i don't know but they have a very good prime rib. i've been in waynesville and cherokee a bit also. i would have to say that there aren't many guns stores and such around there. :(

Hey guys,,, I'm a WNC mountain boy myself. Here's a couple ideas for your visit.
When you guys go to Cherokee, try driving through the Smokey Mountain National park. The entrance is on the back side of Cherokee. You take hwy 141 right over the mountains and come out in Gatlinburg TN. About a 45 min drive one way and it is beautiful. There are a LOT of great places to eat in Gatlinburg. I recommend Calhouns for BBQ ribs & steaks, The Cherokee Grill for steaks, and the Smokey Mountain Brewery for pizza and everything else. All 3 are on your right about 100 yards into Gatlinburg coming in on 141.
We've got the best bear population now that we've had in years. I saw 3 bear in the park this summer in one day - 2 adult, 1 cub. No hunting in the park of course, but the bear radiate out all over the place on public and private land.

Good luck to you all.

Ifferd, my wife is from the Maggie Valley/Waynesville area and has a cousin that
has a giftshop in Cherokee, just before comming in to town, comming from
Maggie to Cherokee. The name of the gift shop is Bear Meat's. Shehad an uncle
in maggie that was a big bear hunter, (Billy Finger).We will be there Oct.15-25.
I am going to meetTnhoundman from the Hog Forum when I get there.
How far are you? Maybe you and yours can join us for breakfest or lunch.
