    Some of you guys don’t like the hunting aspect. I get it. But Black Bears are in a special movement . They are migrating from the forests into the residential areas
    .Butler co. even in Pgh. yes in the city. Should be a good bonding vacation.

    Pat i adore were you guys live. Different time people and place. I’m excited. 54. well I’m at my peak. Down hill from here. I know my cabin is in the center of Black Bear country. more killed per square mile than anywhere else. But Harvesting A bear or shooting a Bear is like a needle in a haystack. It’s not about the kill. It’s about teaching your kids what your Grand parents and their parents had to do to live.

    When i was young and got Married. Wild Turkeys were rare and not common .But in the early 90’s. Turkeys just expanded in your wildest dreams. unreal. Mother nature. The circle of life. Now it’s Black Bears turn. 10 years ago. Coyotes Boomed. (Hybrid Graywolf) . Here to stay. unreal. not leaving anytime soon. Dispite how many get harvested. The more we harvest. The more the litters become vast. Mother Nature.
    It’s the Black Bears time. And there may 30,000 . in Pa. Why? conservation. What’s next. Mountain lion. Probably. Good luck. Anti hunters! If you think every hiker can kill a mountain like the Man in Colorado. Well think again. Not many a man can kill a mountain lion with his hands.
