Who's going Bear hunting this year??

I've never been bear hunting... what exactly is the deal?

 

Just read the 2005 rules... they say only shotgun or muzzleloader? No taking of a bear closer than 300yds. Shotgun must have peep sights or a scope attached (rifled slug barrel).

Uhm....you've got some kind of mixed information there. There is a 450 foot rule from any home. There is no distance requirement as far as shooting the animal goes as far as I know.

Not to mention that 300 yds with a muzzleloader or shotgun with slugs is going to take a miracle combined with a whole lot of Kentucky Windage.

err... 300yrs from bait...

 

Won't it be dried out, eaten or missing by then?

Yeah probably... but I guess they don't want hunters setting bait below their stand. From what I have read detecting bear (first) is very difficult.... making hunting them exceptionally difficult.

I detect them all the time. They are about as graceful in the woods as a Sherman tank. I just need a chair and a good book. (Note 2 bears in this pic)

So if the bear hunt was on, could we shoot one right from your porch, Malusa? :?

 

If only. :cry:

 

Stupid bears. They are very destructive. Back where I grew up in Ohio, you could shoot anything on your land. In NJ, the bears have diplomatic immunity.
