T Inman, some very valid points. However, cold weather may not elimate the bears. We had a late season elk hunt here in Wyoming in mid to late December, the grizzlies (even some blacks) were still quite active. Certainly, the cold weather has it’s unique set of pluses....but bear elimination, isn’t guaranteed! memtb
