I live right off of the Burnt Mountain Tract and we are covered up with bears. I only saw 2 deer all year, but at least one bear every time I went out for more than a couple of hours. Come shoot some for us next year!

There are several forum members wanting to kill their first bear who just might benefit from this information.:cool:

I know 7 bears were killed the first dawson forest gun hunt. I killed male bear that dressed 290on the first gun hunt. I think 5 or 6 on the second and none on the dec hunt

There would've been one on the December hunt if I could hit the target! I missed one on the November hunt also...



I did hit the one I shot at during bow season up on Chattahoochee though. 1 for 3 is a good batting average but not a good bear avg! Haha!


So... If you get a bear next year on DF that was wood chips and shrapnel in his rib cage, you'll know it was the one I shot at...

I don't deal with bear harvest data, but I got in touch with our bear guy. Here's the 2014 harvest summary, the 2015 numbers are still being compiled.

Many thank-you's, Sir, for this long awaited, regularly requested info that no person has been able to find for years on the forum.



:clap:

I'm in a club this year with a good amount of bear on the tract. Hopefully I'll get one, those WMA numbers look don't look to promising lol. I know 14 was a bumper crop year so the numbers are reflective. Either way it will be good to be on a good tract of private land again!
