2019 Bear Harvest

[bkspyder]

It has been released for 2019.

Here it is: http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/wildlife_pdf/bbrpt2019.pdf

Here's the harvests page for deer and bear by year: http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/42232.html

Southern zone doing most of the harvests, and a jump as well. Hope to contribute to that next year myself.

I always feel better getting skunked in the north during early season when the total is freaking 64.

I'd love to see a statistic that showed how many were actually pursuing bear and how many were opportunistic deer or dual hunters. Without bait this is freaking hard

Wow. 2 in 3S has to be the record. Looks like they are on the CT border. 1 in 3N. I had a pic of a cub in 3N this past year in the summer

No bear could survive your area. Too many deer! A bear would Starve trying to find crops

Too many deer around bear is like saying there's too much food on the buffet.

Don’t try to diminish my greatest accomplishment of 2019 please.

In 2018 two of the bears in 4k were taken on my cousin's farm.  This past season they didn't see any sign at all.

Seems like NJ banning hunting bears on public land is a bonus for parts of NY.

I heard one was taken out near Georgetown two years ago.  Would love to even get one on cam

I’ve seen trail cam pics of a nice bear in the Pitcher area from last year.

Theres seems to always be one taken in mcdonough,oxford or afton areas every year.  Ive personally known 3 guys in the area that have taken one within the last 5 years.

That's cool. My buddies wife is from McDonough and their family has a lot of land out that way.  Hear it's good hunting.

Yea it can be if you can get into the right spots.  It reminds me a bit of up north with alot of pine forest and thousands of acers of stateland but a higher deer population.  My bil usually takes a nice 8 every year on one piece when he come up from pa.  2 years ago he shot a 6 that was 17 inches wide.  I think this year opening day he saw 25 -30 all does but 2 spikes.

Why is it that the town of Hamptonburg gets no bear kills year after year? The rest of the towns in 3M adjacent to Hamptonburg have kills every year, If not every couple of years. It seems like a dead zone. Any reason?
