jeremiahjohnson Report post Posted September 1, 2011 If you are looking for a bear in 27, best bet is somewhere nobody is running dogs, water and find a food source.. Grass, berries, oaks, start in low elevation and work your way up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grass, berries, oaks, start in low elevation and work your way up. i love your name. or some where some one is training there dogs. 3years ago i was in 27 hunting turkeys i met a father and son bear hunting. i then met a fella training his dogs. i then introduced them. they both filled there tags. the area we were in i heard dogs baying all day light hours.

Coach Report post Posted September 3, 2011 Looking for hillsides full of prickly pears is where you start, but you have to find the dense drainages that lead into those areas. Bears love thick stuff, so look at your area from their perspective. They want to warm up in the sun-lit hills and gourge on whatever is around, but they need a place they can bound into if confronted. They like deep, oak covered, steep stuff. They'll venture out for food but always want to have that "safe place" to retreat into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
