Yeah its the weather but the seasons too late. Most bears are denned up especially with bad acorn crop this year. I had 11 bears on cam in november started baiting for them right before thanksgivig by the time the season came 1 and he got shot. Guessing the other ones denned up need an earlier season if you want to put a real dent in pop

Actually there were more permits issued this year than last (9076 vs. 6680), but keep in mind that many hunters this year took a 2nd zone permit (available for the 1st time) but were still limited to taking one bear.
Undoubtedly weather & scarce hard mast were the limiting factors in this years lower bear kill.

No doubt that the mast crop and weather played a part....but also you gotta wonder since this was out first back to back season, how many guys that got a bear last year were holding out for a big bear this year and passing up on yearlings and smaller sows

I can say this..I bought permits previous years to supprt the hunt..This year myself n Sonia hunted them..I devoted my 6 day to bear..n cant wait to do it again..

 

[oneshotkill]

I bought em last year even though I knew I wouldnt be able to hunt them , just out of support for the hunt.
