Wat units can you run hounds on bear in the fall if any?
Well I know its not 35A... and we need a fall hunt in this unit. The game and fish is trapping and removing nuisance beats here... we have a trap on our property as we speak. If there had been a hunt here we could have solved our problem a week ago and had some nice bear steak in the freezer. For the last week we have been running a nice dark black bear off our orchard he went completely nocturnal after the first day and was treed every two hours all night long for 5 nights now... its goten abit old. He is around 200-250lbs, seems young and I bet if he don't get dead he will go over 300 in a year or two. On a bright note it seems to have really turned on my new pups... rather have them chase lion and bobcats but at least they are treeing a lot better on bears, hopefully it will carry over to the cats.
Go to wal-mart or any sporting goods store in your area and pick up a free copy of the Hunting and TRapping regs... or go to the
http://www.azgfd.gov/h_f/hunting_rules.shtml
site and download a copy. Most units where there are bears do have a General fall hunt with licenses bought over the counter... but there is a Quota system so you have to check before you go out with a phone call... number is in the regs under bearhunting.
