Pa bear season change

[Pygmy]

I just learned that bear season in PA will be open the first week of  deer gun season ( Nov 28- Dec 3) in units 3A, 3C and  a few other portions of other units, for hunters posessing a bear tag.

The NR bear tag ($36.50 plus the $101.70 NR hunting license) must be purchased prior to the season.

This may be of interest to people like me and lawdwaz, who hunt deer in unit 3A.  On the property I hunt, members of my party nearly always see bears while deer hunting. Last year I did not fill any of my PA deer tags, but I could have shot 2 bears, and they were both BIG ones.
