Still Want to Go Bear Hunting?!?!?  (Photo Courtesy of  firstpeople.us)

For those of you who are going bear hunting this Spring I am extremely jealous.  Spring time is a pretty slow time for me hunting wise and it doesn’t take much to get me envious!  So I took it upon myself to gather some good reads for those of you getting ready to take off in search of your bruin or those of us who will just be content to gain some additional knowledge and file it away to that future opportunity. 

This is a pretty fun read with some general information and interesting facts about black bears.  More educational that how too but has some good points to keep in mind while hunting.

Don’t be fooled by the web domain referring to long distance shooting.  This article gives you some hints on what to do if you’re not seeing any bears and also how to read bear sign.  I’ll put it this way I read some things that I was completely unaware of with regards to bears.
