it starts the first monday of dec god i cant wait we have a big bear that we have ran three times and all he does is walk and fight and we start the bear at the same spot every weekend

Very nice. I hear the mass is running low.

in spots u can find some food

Around here there was some hickory and beech which is pretty much gone.Had some tracking snow for the last couple days.Only tracked very small bear.Not sure where the others went.

we have been out the past couple days had have found some big tracks

hitting the road in a few minutes for my 10 hour ride down!

So, How is it going so far?

All I can say is the first day we found 2 old tracks, Tuesday it rained, Wednesday it rained then snowed, so thinking that the rain quite and a 1" of snow on the ground, Thursday was going to be the morning for bear hunting !! Well guess what nine hours of driving, riding 4 wheelers and walking some hounds! Not even one bear track. But back in September early season we run and treed in the same place! Maybe they just layed up!

I haven't found a track yet to run!

No tracks yet, anyone else in WV doing any good?

found a track today at 2 pm, I will be hitting that thicket first thing Monday morning!

Hunted w/some friends of mine on Pocahontas/Pendelton line Monday - we treed and killed 3 that day, smallest 120 biggest weighed 315 after dressed.

Tues/Wed - to much rain to hunt - no tracks

Thursday back to Nicholas County w/my group - we treed two, let them both go

Friday treed one and killed it, around 150lbs

Saturday - found tracks but all old

If this link works - this is a bear my Cracker dog and my buddy's Lacy dog treed on their own(Thursday), they treed it to fast to get any other dogs turned in, we took some dogs to the tree to keep it up.

Monday we treed one by 8:00am killed it, took the dogs off the tree and walked around the mountain dogs struck another track and had it treed before 11:00am . One weighted 164lbs. and the other weighted 300lbs. Man I figured we're going to have a good season being we did that good that early the first day , boy was I wrong . We haven't found a track since. And we've hunted 5 out of the 6 days. Had snow Thursday , Friday , and Saturday and still found no tracks. Think I'll go back to work.

Maybe the next couple of warm days might get them moving again. Who knows , I hope so I have been hunting a spot in Boone Kanawha county and their is no movement at all! At least where I hunt.i was thinking about relocating , maybe as far as Pocahontas for a couple days , but the guys I talk to that's hunting that part says they haven't done well neither , we have no mast and I guess other parts have the same problem.

Same story. Sorry weather, lots of miles and few or no bear.
