I don't know if any of you guys ever participated in an organized drive before.Basically, that's how we hunt bears here.Or at least the most successful way to harvest bears here.We can't use baits/lures,and no dogs.Our season is bear only for 4 days.Then we have combined deer/bear rifle for another 4 days.There's is a week long archery bear season that runs during the rut for deer.In that week,I actually stalked to within 35 yards of a very big bear,estimated over 400lbs.He caught me drawing my bow and took off,heartbreak there
Well,every year I have a group of buddies that come up to drive bear all day for Saturdays opener.There will be 25 of us pushing/crawling thru the local swamps.Nothing better then hearing the guns sounding off during a drive.It may sound unfair with 25 guys,but is crazy thick where they sleep,and most times they run circles around us.But,sometimes we score.If any of you guys ever want to try your welcome to come any year.I live in one of the highest bear densities in the state.And, we kill some giants around here.Every year a handful of 600+ bear,a few 700+ and usually at least one 800lber
Hope to post pics tomorrow or have a good story or two
