  Bearpaw's 1999 spring bear season was a success. 40 hunters harvested 66 bears for a success rate of 165%. Every hunter took at least 1 bear. We took 7 bears exceeding 7' nose to tail. 22 bears were colored other than black.

Dave Newcomb with 400lb Black Bear We experienced some poor weather in 1999. Wind, cold, and wet are not perfect conditions for bear hunting, however patience and perseverance prevailed.
