I hunt Bear Spring quite a bit, it does get crowded with clowns and gets pressure. and lots of road hunting pressure also. But its convienant for me which is why i hunt there. It was very quiet this year, most of the shooting on the surrounding pivate land. Not too many deer like years past. There's some gangs that stay at the campgrounds - man, those boys shoot anything! Once in a while i get lucky with a mountain buck. Have turkey hunted there many times without a gobble. If your looking for big woods solitude, my advice, keep looking. Nice country though
