Just wondering how many of you folks see Bears while hunting.And are finding more and more Bears than usual? It used to be in our area, you might see a bear every other year or so. For the last five years we ALWAYS see 1 or 2. This year I saw one from my tree stand,I'd Guess about 275 to 300 lbs. Then a few days later about 4 miles from that stand 1 walked across the road in front of us, A small 140-160 lb. The first was all black with brown muzzle and the second cinnamon. I revisited 2 Elk gut piles and both had been cleaned within 2 days and tracks and scat from 2 different bears. Am wondering if the poor thimble berry crop has pushed them into our area. Or if the numbers are just increasing. Have any of you noticed changes in your area?
