are there any guys out there in east or west nc that could hook me up with some black bear bow huntin? i am in stokes county (north central nc). they say it's hard to do much without dogs & you can't bait.

I'm in Stokes too.

Here's your best bet for NC Bear. http://conmans.homestead.com/

are you looking to trade a hunt or just want to go somewhere. I have land in southeast NC and have TONS of blackbear.

Jimmy I'd be very interested in trading something for a self-guided bear hunt down east.

+1 on Conmans. Class act, great host, and great hunting.
