Goin on a bear hunt

[slugger]

We went on a bear hunt. It was awful, Lots of snow and no bear. Rogers pass sucked. But other than that ,had a great time. We called coyotes on our way back, same deal, snow and NO coyotes...The gophers where down too.

Love them pictures. We also live in a beautiful state but in a different way. Your area is so vast and WILD. Great views and diverse everything.

Our rural farmland is speckled with all sorts of crops, blocks of woods and rolling hills. Deer, small game and good fishing. It's small town USA for sure in Western NYS. The further south you go towards the PA border the more desolate it is.

If NYS didn't have NYC, we would be as conservative and they come.

Anyhow, you have my favorite pictures of all posters!!

Nice pictures! Hey, didna ya know bears hibernate, LOL. I be hibernating too if it like that here. Were you using hounds? Lotsa hound hunting here. Mostly for deer but for bear in the mountains. Course lot of guys have beagles for rabbit hunting and tree dogs for coon and bobcats. And I'm kinda partial to using tree dogs for squirrel hunting too.

Spring here. Potatoes up, put my mater plants out last week, 4/22, and cutting fresh lettuce and pulling spring onions. Dogwood blooming, strawberries blooming, catfish biting, turkey season open and they are really gobbling. Crappies spawning and the temperatures are mild. No more frost or freezing until next fall, 40s feel cold.

Thanks for the pictures. 10

If that little bit of snow bothered the bears they would sleep all year long up here. I have seen snow ON the ground any month of the year, Many times we watch the 4th of July fire works with parkas on in the snow... We can't hunt bear or deer with dogs, only lions and coyotes. Rabbits you can do anything, no season or limits.
The grass is JUST starting to show green and the tulips and daffodils are they only thing up .!!!
