    Default bear hunting this year

    been w while since i have been hunting in general and this year iw as invited to go bear hunting up in Tioga county with some friends..

    do i need a county specific bear tag ?

    anything else i might need to know ?... i'll be using my buddies .375 H&H mag, i'll be buying it when i have the money, so i'm not worried about being undergunned lol

    to tell the truth im a bit nervous, been so long since i hunted let alone for bear

    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
