We are loaded with bear where i live along the the shenandoah national park or atleast we were before the mange killed off a bunch. During hunting season ive had bear and deer around the stands a lot. Fawns dont last long in the spring around bear. We try to kill a bear or 2 every year. Bear can be great eating or nasty as hell. Depends what they are eating. A bear thats been eating dead turkeys is not much good to eat. We have turkey houses all around us.
