A couple of sayings that I remember about hunting black bears in PENN,
"Bears arent hard to kill, just hard to find"
"A bear is a pig in a fur coat"
Bears can take some punishment and keep on ticking and they can indeed be hard to find. Tracking can be quite an experience, especially in mountain laurel. They have some pretty good tricks.
We used to have a very successful group in past years, but many have passed and the rest are long in the tooth. It could get real exciting at times. If seeing bears in season doesn't get your blood up, better check your pulse.
