Re: bear hunting this year
A bear license is good anywhere in the state. I'd suggest getting some exercise, most bear hunting involves drives and the steepest, ugliest terrain and cover that can be found.
How heavy is that 375? A regular deer cartridge (I'd go at least 25 caliber) will do the job nicely and probably be in lighter rifle. Some of the guys I've hunted with pack a revolver while they're driving and switch to rifle when standing.
Good Luck,
Dale
