In the southern zone bear almost never hibernate. In the county where I hunt you can only hunt bear one day a year and we have plenty of them.

This^^^ In North Carolina (where the big bears are) the bears on the coastal plain do not hibernate. It is part of the reason they get so big is they live on the Swamps and bays eating all year and feed in Corn at night. other reasons but that is 2 of em.

You're talking about coastal bears. The bears in the western NC live in a climate (thanks to altitude) that more closely resembles northern latitudes where bears do hibernate.
