Mods Please delete this thread. 1) dont make assumptions, no it wasnt a sow or cub. 2) If you dont know about tags dont make senseless comments I was just trying to share my expierence on what happened. What I meant by it being dark was we couldn't track it. I didnt do anything wrong, and I know for a fact. Shooting the bear in a tree and behind the tree was mountain.

I hunt in 4O for about 15 years, my uncles and dad have been hunting there for about 30. A couple of years ago my cousin supposedly saw a bear and everyone laughed it off. No one believed him really and I would make jokes about it.. This past weekend apparently he saw another one opening day, and I laughed it off. My uncle shot a doe opening morning. Saturday night we hunted and I hear something walking, all of a sudden a deer pops out. I stayed calm and was excited as i had it in the scope I get clean shot, pull the trigger and "CLICK". I was like ohh NOOO. The deer heard the "click" and was staring right at me. I tried not to move for few minutes but couldn't help it anymore and put rifle down to take bullet out. I was using a semi auto 7MM. The gun wasn't in all the way. Then deer turns around take a jump and starts walking away. So I text my cousin going crazy that i just missed a deer, ranting, so mad. As I am texting him I hear footsteps not even 5minutes later from same area. So I was ready this time. I figured its same deer coming back. All of a sudden Big black Bear comes from same spot. I was like Ohh my God. I shot at it twice. and reach in my bag for more bullets and at same time i was trying to see where bear went. I put another bullet in and all of a sudden I see the tree in front of me wiggling, the bear had climbed the tree. I take another shot at it it jumps down and runs away. I walk over to my cousin and as im walking I hear another 2 shots. A different bear ran right by him but was way to dark. We walk back to where i shot it and couldn't find any blood or anything. We stopped looking because was it completely night and couldn't see and was worried i may have wounded it and would have been dangerous. Next morning we tried looking for it and still nothing. Is it possible their coat is so thick they don't bleed as much? I had also apologized to my cousin for all the laughing i did. Pretty interesting weekend.

Like whats would it take a 12ga to be similar to a 10ga? I was thinking 12ga 3 1/2, 30'' barrel. Any thoughts?

What would you say a 10 gauge 28in barrel shotgun equivalent to as far as 12 gauge?

Ive seen does but not many bucks and if that they are small.

4O is getting rough. Been hunting there for over 15 years.

Gotcha. I go for turkey there in the spring. but never looked into it for pheasants but once i heard parking rules I didn't want to bother. Thanks for info

Congrats, You had to apply for parking permit right? Is that where your going for coyote?

Havent seen but have heard. Im also in 4O

Anyone got any updates on this?

30th of September. 2 weeks away and gives everyone time?

I definitely give it a try, never went for squirrels. Whens the date?

Haha ok thanks guy, I will be buying the book.

That was my friends next step, but just wanted to see if anyone had anything in mind.

Friend of mine wants to know what they are worth. Ive looked up some but thought maybe some of you have some of these. Savage 300 Lever Model 99 Enfield 30-06 Model 1917 Ithaca 12ga pump J.P Sauer + Sohn 16ga DB Winchester 30 Lever Model 94 Savage 20ga DB Mossberg 22 Rifle Model 152 Winchester 22 Rifle Pump 1890

I went with my uncle to apply for DMP tag and he had 4 Preference points. Usually when you have 4 your chances are pretty high in getting it. I told him lets see if I get a DMP and if I do for him to not apply for DMP because one doe tag is good enough for the both of us. However the guy at the store said if my uncle doesn't apply this year he would lose the 4 points he had. I tried researching and cant find anything on this, and if the guy gave us false information I would be very upset. Can anyone give feedback on this?

whens good time to go scouting? Thinking about going out tomorrow and try hearing some

ive tried all, but greeks eat pretty much anything, hehehe to each their own

when is the next one and where?

I would like to know also. Have you gone there yet?

The drive i dont mind. How many do you catch? post some pictures might motivate me more to get out there, heheh.

Has anyone gone out recently? Im thinking of going this weekend. Dont know where to go really, hopefully I catch something
