WVA BEAR HUNT

Much respect to you OM for the time & effort you have put into having a productive set of dogs. Sorry to hear about the losses. It seems like that is the tax we have to pay when hunting hard to make dogs. 13 singles on 4 hunts and 7 in 5 hunts would make some of our local coon hunters blush…..and Coons are not scarce!

I have never had the opportunity to bear hunt. From what I read, I think I would enjoy it.

Couple questions if you don’t mind…….

Do you expect your dogs to hunt for tracks together or fan out and hunt independently?

Once a “strike” is acquired, do you expect them to honor it and pack up on the track?

Does steady pack pressure make bears climb?

Do you get many split trees?
