[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2858873, member: 12443"] If you like statistics, you will find that statistically at least the odds are better for killing a black bear in PA than many other states. But if you live there, and hunted for them most of your life, you probably wont believe the statistics. There are far more hunters there who have never seen one during the season, than there are those who have. Bear season there is always just days before the deer season opening. So many bear hunters are actually scouting for deer. There are also certain parts of the state that offer much better odds than others. As for the best method for hunting them, no doubt the large group organized drive method would be the best. Followed by finding a location with a good vantage point and just wait for one to show up. And if that method appeals to you, i would be choosing the north central region of the state. Remember, bear kill statistics can be a bit misleading, because some counties are much larger than others are. And some have higher numbers of hunters. Also bears tend to move around in search of food, which can vary from year to year and location to location. If you can find a Dunkin Donuts store with a dumpster parked out back, thats where id be. Provided you dont mind crowds. lol [/QUOTE]
