Glad you like them... I wish they had never moved into NE Oklahoma. Overgrown raccoons is all they are :(

One guy in our group got a bear tag. I hope he can harvest the bear as well. Trouble is, I believe I have more bears than this. My brother has a cam about a 100 yards away, and he picked up video of a sow and her two cubs from a couple weeks ago. The other explanation could be that this is the sow and her cubs weren't with her this time. But this bear sat on my bird seed pile for an hour and set off the camera about 60 times. No cubs to be found in this series.

thats what i always called them...overgrown coons! I don't mind them so much out in the big woods...but the town bears are such a pain in the @ss. We have so many around here....the PGC trapped 4 bears out our dumpster at work last year....in 5 days.

Phil-sidehill -- My camp is in N.C. Pa. not far from your loc. Anytime we plant corn for deer & turkeys bears get in it & flatten it, especially when it's " in the
milk ". We have to individually fence each apple tree w / concrete mesh and stake it hard to keep the damage to the lowest, outermost limbs. What a pain. Bear season - can't find 'em.

thats cool...what county?
When i used to live on my cousin's farm the bears would flatten acreage of corn.....he HATES them.
I had a bear in my yard saturday night....after it had been hit and killed by a truck on the road. Last year's cub, a boar, about 40-50lbs. PGC is picking up the carcass today.

i grew up in Woolrich. when i was a kid I used to hunt out of a camp on the Carrier Road, down Dark Hollow. To the east side of Pine Creek, above Farrandsville/Lock Haven. A friend of mine's father has a camp on 664/Coudersport Pike.

Phil-sidehill -- Yep, it's a small world. Good luck with your deer over there this year. Wasn't so long ago that bucks like you have in your pix would've been unheard of in Sully. I guess antler restrictions & more " let 'em grow " guys are paying off. Used to be spikes & forkies were the norm. A small 6 was wall material. Better days now. Keep us posted.

we are fortunate to have some real monsters show up every year....mostly private land, and in the agricultural areas. the big woods and mtns of SGL 13 and Loyalsock State Forest do produce some slammers as well...but they are the exception. Growing up and hunting up on the carrier road i remember my buddy's dad killed a small 12" wide basket racked 8 pt and it was the biggest buck ever killed at that camp! saw my share of spikes and forks hanging from the meat pole at camp...thats really all that was available in the area any way. The whole carrier road was driven off by camps with 25 man rosters for the first week of rifle season back then!
