Quick question, I had some good input about judgeing bears on this 75lb issue. Does any pro staffer have any good advice on judgeing bears in the woods?????? Thanks for your help.

 

[GTBHUNTIN]

The ears on the head if they look kind big then its a small or young bear, and the belly, if the belly is tight and parrallel to the ground then its young, but if it looks like the bear has a big bean bag in the stomache all droopy and round and almost rubbing against the ground its a big ole bear, also the length.

Hey Borthers!

Hope all is well, Back from Virginia... So we're seeing some good sign!

Dana and Brian; what does the scouting report look like and where do you think we should all hook up and camp for the Hunt.

Take care, be safe and I'll see you in the woods!

I found another bear yesterday afternoon had him at 10 yds he looked to weigh around 150 lbs. thats 2 so far

 

[ngabearhunter]

There's your bear Cooter, let's drag mine out 1st, then we'll get yours! I have one of those 2 wheel game carts that will work great once we get him to a gated road.

 

[Dana Young]

The one yesterday was in the road about 2 miles behind the gate. so we could have took the cart ight to him or got dnr to open the gate and drove the truck right to him.

 

[GTBHUNTIN]

sounds like you guys are right in them. Any word on when we are going to get together at cooter's?

Can you take bear on private land? I was told only public

yes a long as they are in season You still have to get it check out by DNR you can call your local DNR ranger and he will meet you most of the time Ihave gone to there houses befor to tag a bear.
