who is going bear hunting?

Hey
the days are passing & it won't be long till spring season
Who is heading out bear hunting this spring & what locations?
Can't wait till ice out & get back up North

No spring hunt for me but, if I don't draw a moose tag I might try to put together a bear hunt this fall.

Monty---That's funny to hear you say "get up north". LOL!!!

guess so
How you been doing?

I'll be out glassing those Mountain sides. May have found a new spot for this spring.

Had a trip planned for the second week of Sept until my guide called me and said that that week was the full moon, so I dropped back one more week. 3rd week of Sept. I'll be west of Bangor,Me for 10 days.

sounds like you'll have fun

Gary---You tryin to tell me that you got a lazy guide that takes a week off every month just because the moon is full, LOL!!!

Nah, I have the whole camp booked for my guys up there and want them to have the best possible hunt we can, so the guide said it would be better the following week. He said a few yrs ago they did alright, nothing big mind you, but the moon does play a roll with them feeding during shooting hrs. LOL!!!!!

That's the same time I was there last year.

So you're trying to say you can't use the moonlight, LOL!!!

Now top, you know I have things that could take care of even the darkest of nights, but he local GW might not have a sense of humor.  LOL!!!!!!

Do you drive that trip? If so how long does it take? I was east of Banger and I think it took 18 hrs to get home, 1064 miles. Long day diving home.

Yep, I have driven it twice now. It takes me about 24hrs to get to Philly and then another 8-10 from there to the northern most camp in Maine. This one will be a bit shorter, maybe only 6 from Philly. I usually leave here on Wed morning and get there Fri mid day. Get all the in-laws stuff packed in my truck and then head north on Sat morning spend the night in a hotel and head to camp Sun morning. Longest part of the trip is W.Va. They have no sense of humor for radar detectors. I drive cause no matter how hard I try, I just can't cram the sink AND bathtub in my dufflebag.  LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I know what you mean about driving. I've only done one hunt where I went by air. That was to BC. Man if I would have drove that it would have took 3 or 4 days one way.

I do plan on flying to Florida next year to turkey hunt. With just a week off I figured we better fly. First I have to find a place to turkey hunt.

Good luck bear hunting!
