Bears are out

Post by Minnow »

Went for a drive with my dad to look for some possible turkey hunting spots on public land and ended up finding some potential bear hunting spots instead

Here in pa you can now shoot bears in your yard as long as you are 50 yds from neighbor or have neighbors permission.. I have bears in yard at times real big one 800 pds was in my yard years ago and was killed that year many over 700 are killed also here...But bear running down streets with arrow in its side isnot nice to see... :shock:
