Bears 

July 9, 2005 Bear crossing the Juniata at home.

Picture taken from my treestand archery deer hunting in Tuscarora State Forest near home

He was at the next fencepost coming toward me. I was inside a deer exclusion fence. He seemed to know something was not right and turned and walked away.

Hunts

The two bears from Idaho were in the spring and the Ontario bear was in the fall.
The spring bear hunting was with York Outfitters. Since I went there there is a different owner and I am not recommending them.

The fall bear hunt was with some friends and was set up by a friend and I went along.
