Title: The rut is on !!!!!
Post by: Yoder409 on June 05, 2022, 10:01:10 PM
The bear rut, that is.

Caught this BIG boy out cruising around looking for an early sow.

Lousy cell phone pics taken at a distance.  But he'd likely be a bear of a lifetime for whoever would shoot him.

You'll only be about 6 months early for season, but, hey................   I can get you set up right there and you can wait.   Probably wanna pack a lunch.

He's a nice one.  Yep.

But bear in mind (pun intentional)............ PA produces some of the biggest blackies in the nation.  I shot one a good many years back that was 200+pounds bigger than the one in the pic.   And the following spring I got trailcam pics of one that was bigger than the one I shot.   A short season combined with no baiting, no hounds and LOTS of corn and soybeans to eat makes for some BIG old boars.
