  • As is tradition in our family, we spent the week leading up to Thanksgiving stomping around the mountains of central Pennsylvania chasing the illusive black bear around the backcountry. Lots of great memories made in some of the most beautiful country in the world. We hope you enjoyed this video. If so, make sure to Like & Subscribe and we will see you all next time!

    Man that thicket was serious that looked like the brambles where the hounds wouldn’t go! Beautiful country though definitely looked like there was a bear in there somewhere! But I would think about carrying a michetti next time!!!

    Where was the cabin you stayed in. Looked familiar like Sayers Damn (Blanchard damn) we call it. But then you went up to Renovo to the check station. Maybe your cabin is up that way. I'm from Clinton county and hunt 4-D in McElhattan and 2-G up in Beech creek. It all just looked familiar is all. Thanks for your video.

      Glad you liked it! And good question; those cabins are at Bald Eagle State Park at Sayers Dam. We rent them there at the state park. I will go ahead and add that info to the video description in case anyone else is wondering too.

      @@cottagefamilyadventures I thought it did. Not sure of the exact location of where you hunting. But know there's a lot of people hunting them areas as well as driving those locations off. My buddy has 130 acreas on bald eagle mnt Rd I hunt up there with him. But this yr there wasn't any sign of deer or bear because of bad acorn crop from the gypsi moths. So I hunt my regular area were I live. I got many deer and 1 bear on trail cam but come rifle season saw I deer the first day was it lol

    • @cottagefamilyadventures
      @cottagefamilyadventures  Рік тому +1

      Yes, we definitely noticed that as well... the lack of acorns. Unfortunately, didn't have time for pre-season scouting this year, so we just stuck with what worked in the past. That's the way it goes, isn't it? lol better luck next year!

    You need a revolver so you don't have to drag a rifle through that nonsense.
    And keep your radio around your neck on a lanyard or string. You won't lose it then. Speaking 100% from experience driving bear in some real dumps of Laurel and Rhodedendron in PA
