Hello

[Wayne Rollinson]

Hi everyone I was directed here to gain info on hunting black bear, I am a UK hunter who makes most of my hunting gear, I do shoot a rifle back home for deer stalking we have 6 species of deer along with european wild boar but my passion is bowhunting.
I have to travel for this as it's not legal here unfortunately. I have been lurking for a few weeks gaining info on finding a black bear in Georgia as I am planning to come over and hunt with OTC tags, I have hunted quite a few destinations with the bow abroad and its not about the shooting anymore but the stalk and the experiences, getting as close as possible and for me nothing comes closer than with using a trad bow.
I am also an experienced tracker and use a Hannoverscher sweisshund throughout Europe on organised driven hunts, I am hoping to contribute to the forum so if anyone is interested in how we hunt and track I can post.
I have just come back from Vermont where I hunted public land in hopes of finding a bear which I found and stalked into 30 yards before the wind switched and he bolted and slipped into the bracken and away down the mountain.
Many regards Wayne.

Thanks I have been lucky to hunt some beautiful grounds, there are some huge stags in this management area, the last hunt I did here I also tracked for the estate, every single animal that has been shot at has to be followed up I got assigned to a red stag, one hind and a wounded wild boar, the stag went a few hundred meters, the hind was an easy find but the wildboar went over 2km before we got to it. on the way I noticed something strange in the bracken and it turned out to be a wolf which also was looking for the wild boar.

Welcome Wayne, where do you stay in the UK?

I am in the middle in yorkshire but I also hunt in scotland for sika and red deer, which is an amazing place to hunt, if only we could use the bow.

Wayne is it true that Hunting in England is for only the wealthy?

No not at all, I don't have much money just a hard working welder, we can get good hunting it takes some time though, but once you get known it is ok, my hunting ground up north is forestry ground for management but my home areas are for pleasure,regards wayne
