Arizona Bear

[HullinPhx]

Question to everybody, What do you think the actual harvest % is for spring bear with a bow in AZ? I know you are suppose to call the GF when you kill one but with out the use of dogs or bait I would think this is a real low number. Has anybody done it on here? Was it a spot and stalk? How close would you really want to stalk a bear in the first place? Do people shoot them coming in and out of their dens? What about in grass fields or water?

Thanks

John
