Well you had better luck than me because I didn't see a bear or even bear tracks. I went on Tuesday after a fresh blanket of snow had fallen. I saw plenty of deer tracks but no bear tracks. I've seen bears in this part of the woods before often too.
Next year I might try private land if I can find some otherwise I think I'm going to go to Pensy. Corzine will probably cancel the Bear Hunt anyway, but if I had some private land to hunt I might consider putting in the work.
