How to hunt black bear either by yourself or with a group using either a bow or a gun. These tips apply especially to places that do not allow baiting.
Invaluable info, used some of these tips to harvest my first spot and stalk BC black bear last May, was able to get it done with a bow and my son right beside me as well...thanks for providing some helpful knowledge along the way!
Good informative video. Pennsylvania has a larger population of Black Bears then New York State does. As well as that the Black Bear's generally are often larger in size in Pennsylvania then in NYS . However Pennsylvania's Bear Hunting seasons are much shorter then New York State's extensively long various Bear hunting seasons. While New York State law prohibits Baiting, however the use of 1.5 oz of Liqued Attractants is legally allowed. As far as expanding bear hunting oppourtunities. Maybe there should also be a "Special Bear Handgun" Hunting" season". Hunters should annually update their knowledge base of all changes in all applicable regulations and laws.
Thanks for the insights, Sean. We're allowed to bait here in MN, but I have always been curious how people get it done without baiting or scents when the land is void of agriculture and non-conducive to spot-and-stalk or calling.
Sean I really love your videos and I'm looking forward to the dvd's I will definitely purchase them. I plan on getting your book off of amazon I'm just waiting to see if my girlfriend gets it for me for Christmas since I told her I wanted it lol. If not ill be purchasing your book right after Christmas. Keep the videos coming I can't get enough. I was also raised Christian so your faith and spiritual values really peak my interest! Thanks Sean god bless!!

Been hunting bear for years now in PA. This is good information. We drive the laurels swamp and the mountain for bear. Wind is important. Funnels are important. They will slip back through the drive if not done right. If you have fresh snow and cut a track the chase is on. If you cut a track going into the swamp send a scout around the perimeter if it’s not exiting the swamp you know it’s inside. Drive it normally and keep the best tracker on the track no matter where it goes. The shot will be close mine was at about 12 yds and I had about 2 seconds to shoot. Good luck!

I watched this video this morning , I went out with the bow tonight and saw my first ever black bear while hunting , came with in 10 yrds but never had a clear shot.... thks for the info
No wonder PA has a bear problem. They should loosen those rules; or maybe they have in the 5 years since this video was posted. Great video by the way.
when i go on drives i try to stop and look behind me a few times always look 360. and when you drive don't take the path of least resistance. go through the thick rose bushes and red brush
Hey Sean, love your videos, quick question if ya know. I hunt in New Jersey and baiting is illegal here as well. Will this still apply for scent attracts as well or would it be considred bait just like it is in PA?

I'm from Ohio and bear hunt Pa. Iv'e heard that alot of pregnant bear hybernate before bear (gun & bow) season and the season seems too late and male bears hybernate before season also, this seems planned by the DNR, i also talked to a ranger in Lycoming co. and he said some bears have contracted mange, and to keep a watch for bears loosing hair, let me know what they say about possibly moving the season to an earlier date
I hunt Lycoming county PA and didn’t come across any tracks, let alone any bear sightings this past bear season. Odd because our hunting club usually harvest at least 2-4 per year. I have also heard that it’s because the bears hibernated early this year.
It's amazing at the shorness of the Pennsylvania Bear and Deer Seasons as compared to the New York long Bear and Deer Hunting seasons. I am a Handgun Hunter and specialty bullet series inventor mainly for Black Powder cap&ball percussion revolvers, my Universal Bullets are very effective at quickly bringing down game. I've taken several Wild Boars and while I have yet to take a Black Bear, I am confident that having successfully taken multiple Wild Boar using my Universal Bullets in Black Powder cap&ball percussion revolvers, I feel that Black Bears should be about the same as far as penetraiting thick Fat and bone. Having hunted in both, Germany and Estonia, I am acquainted with organized Hunt drives. That's awesome that such organized drives are being used in Pennsylvania. I look forward to one day harvesting a North American Black Bear! Wishing you, Safe adventures and journeys.

Great video. My family has a cabin in Northern WI. Getting into bear hunting & a rug for the cabin is top of my hunting/fishing bucket list. Great intro to the sport, loved the Quebec story too
I am in PA too! Heading out first thing tomorrow for my first time out. thanks so much for this video! I feel batter after watching it. God Bless! (this is my hubbys profile, Im Kori. lol:)
I’m very interested in how you read topo maps. Studying the lay of the land and trying to figure out how game use it to there advantage has become a huge off season hobby of mine over the last few years... I also hunt big state land in southern ny👍👍👍
Sean... Where abouts are you in Pennsylvania? I'm down near Hershey and have had a really hard time finding black bear unless I travel a few hours north. Just curious. Either way, great content! Thanks.

Hey Sean I am looking forward to this coming season for bear, and am just wanting to get started studying early. I just moved here form Tennessee to over near Johnstown Pa to start my dream career as a camp ranger. But being this new I don't really know what parts of the state to hunt for bear. Don't mind driving a bit, would you mind giving me some suggestions on some public lands that would be a good option.
There are bear in Johnstown area. If you want a chance at one of the biggest bear in the world, those are often seen and shot in the Pocono area since they get fed by people so much. Some of the highest number of bear harvests per year are in my old stomping grounds which are the Clinton, Lycoming, Tioga, Potter county area of the state.
Sean, love your videos but I gotta say, when you are talking about multiple bears it has an "s" on it. Bear is not plural. Same with Does. Just saying!
Been trying to get into predator hunting and small game hunts now that big game season is over here in ny.. Have you ever had any experience with predator hunting?

I was fortunate in that I was on a steep hill so it was easy to drag it downhill to the bottom. When I got there, I used a game cart to wheel it out. Usually it takes a lot of people to get a bear out though. You will need a game cart if you are by yourself.
It is illegal in many states, including Pennsylvania. Always read the rules carefully in your state to find out for sure so that you don't get yourself in big trouble by doing something that is illegal. God bless you.
Lots of good info! Thanks! Any tips for finding bears in northern Ontario in the spring? What sorts of terrain should i look for? Any ideas of food sources in the spring? God bless bro!
This weekend I will be hunting black bear in Pennsylvania, and I'm having a dilemma about what rifle to use. My choices are my deer rifle, a Ruger American in 7mm-08 with a 3-9x40 Redfield Revolution, my grandfathers sporterized Springfield 1903 in 30-06 with a 4x40 Leupold Gold Ring, or a Remington model 141 in .35 Remington with a 4x50 Redfield Widefield. What do you guys think?

To clarify for New York hunters if this has changed since this video was made. For black bear you are not allowed to use bait, however you are allowed to bring up to 1.5 fl oz of scent lure with you. The only exception might be the usual weird WMUs around NYC.

Sean's Outdoor Adventures yeah I’m also in Pennsylvania/New York and I’ve only seen 1 bear on each property (not during season) i do occasionally find bear sign though.I’ll try corn since I don’t usually plant it. Thanks
@@jeffsmith6717 Okay, well then your best bet is to have naturally occurring food on the property. If there is any way to have corn fields on the property, that could help to draw them in during hunting season. It is not a guarantee, but I know that where I was at in PA, farmers would have the bear move in during October and November and hang out in the corn all day and night. I've seen it myself. Aside from that, they are just to hard to predict as to where they will be. Find the good food, then you've got a chance.

I don't remember the name of the guy who did it. That was back in 1992 so who knows if he is still even in business, but he was in the Coventry area of PA.
Clearly you haven’t been watching my uploads since this one which went up many years ago. And the most recent ones, people have complained are too short. Moral of the story is, you can’t please all the people all the time. There’s always going to be some who will not like something. Yours is the only comment of its type in this video that I’ve ever had on it... God bless ya.
God states that cud-chewing animals with split hooves can be eaten (Leviticus 11:3; Deuteronomy 14:6). These specifically include the cattle, sheep, goat, deer and gazelle families (Deuteronomy 14:4-5). He also lists such animals as camels, rabbits and pigs as being unclean, or unfit to eat (Leviticus 11:4-8). He later lists such “creeping things” as moles, mice and lizards as unfit to eat (Leviticus 11:29-31), as well as four-footed animals with paws (cats, dogs, bears, lions, tigers, etc.) as unclean (Leviticus 11:27).
I won't eat a bear, but I might like a rug. Maybe I could find a taxidermist who will barter the meat for tanning my bear hide. Either way, I might get a bear tag when I go deer hunting just in case I run into one.
This was very helpful. I’ll be sure to incorporate this into my hunting plans. Does god also have advice on cooking temperatures? I’ve read conflicting well done temps. I prefer Fahrenheit but can work with Celsius. Thanks in advanced.
Invaluable info, used some of these tips to harvest my first spot and stalk BC black bear last May, was able to get it done with a bow and my son right beside me as well...thanks for providing some helpful knowledge along the way!
Awesome! Congrats!!!
Hey Sean. I know this is an older vid but it still helped me a lot! TYVM again for another great vid!
Awesome thanks so much
Come up to Minnesota someday and hunt bear. 😉
Sounds good.
First time I'm hunting bear soon here in VA. This video is giving me more confidence around the subject. Thank You Sean.
Great! Thank you
I hunt Luzerne County PA it's my favorite thing to do
Awesome
Good informative video.

Hunters should annually update their knowledge base of all changes in all applicable regulations and laws.
👍
Thanks for the insights, Sean. We're allowed to bait here in MN, but I have always been curious how people get it done without baiting or scents when the land is void of agriculture and non-conducive to spot-and-stalk or calling.
Thanks, Brother.
Exactly what I needed
Great!

I like hunting by corn for them! 🐻🐻
👍
@@seansoutdoors 👍🏻👍🏻
Would you suggest hunting black bears near freshly cut slashes or 2nd year slashes?
Sure but I look for corn fields
If a bear is charging at me. And I shoot it. Will it keep charging at me? Or will it back off and run Away????
That probably depends on how well you hit it and how angry it is.
Been hunting bear for years now in PA. This is good information. We drive the laurels swamp and the mountain for bear. Wind is important. Funnels are important. They will slip back through the drive if not done right. If you have fresh snow and cut a track the chase is on.

Hey Sean! is there an easy way to get a bear you killed out of the woods if you're by yourself?
I was fortunate in that I was on a steep hill so it was easy to drag it downhill to the bottom. When I got there, I used a game cart to wheel it out. Usually it takes a lot of people to get a bear out though. You will need a game cart if you are by yourself.
And in pa when you kill a bear do you need to have the evidence of the sex when you take it the check station
No, you are to tag and then gut the animal right away, and in many methods that involves removing those parts. You then take it to the check station.
Pa bear season is just fine the way it is. We have a great bear population
It was too high where I used to live
Thanks
You're welcome
Subscribed and will try to check out some books or dvds when you get then God bless bro
Thanks man. www.seansoutdooradventures.com/store/
Is using scents and attractants like vanilla considered baiting is it illegal ?
It is illegal in many states, including Pennsylvania. Always read the rules carefully in your state to find out for sure so that you don't get yourself in big trouble by doing something that is illegal. God bless you.

This weekend I will be hunting black bear in Pennsylvania, and I'm having a dilemma about what rifle to use. My choices are my deer rifle, a Ruger American in 7mm-08 with a 3-9x40 Redfield Revolution, my grandfathers sporterized Springfield 1903 in 30-06 with a 4x40 Leupold Gold Ring, or a Remington model 141 in .35 Remington with a 4x50 Redfield Widefield. What do you guys think?
***** I kinda thought the 7mm-08 was a little small, but I guess bears have been taken with smaller calibers.
***** Just like my granddaddy told me. Haha thanks man
👍
Where the best place to go bear hunting in East Tennessee?
I don't know
I'm in Ontario 😄 Quebec isn't that far
👍
Hay Sean how would you cook deer ribs would you cook it like normal ribs? Pleas help me.
I've cooked deer ribs in a slow cooker with Campbells Golden Mushroom soup and beef broth. Not a lot of meat, but very tasty.

Great video with lots of great info, thanks for the help !!
👍
To clarify for New York hunters if this has changed since this video was made. For black bear you are not allowed to use bait, however you are allowed to bring up to 1.5 fl oz of scent lure with you. The only exception might be the usual weird WMUs around NYC.
Great thanks
I have a question as a new black bear hunter, I only have a 223 would it be a viable option to hunt black bear in PA?
Nope what to small. Something in 30 cal. 30-30, 308, 30-06

Awesome video!
Thanks so much, Julie!!! God blesss you!
Is there anyway I could draw bears to my property
Some people bait them, but if you live in an area that does not allow that, then plant corn. In the fall bear love and seek out corn.
Sean's Outdoor Adventures Isnt that baiting?
Sean's Outdoor Adventures yeah I’m also in Pennsylvania/New York and I’ve only seen 1 bear on each property (not during season) i do occasionally find bear sign though.I’ll try corn since I don’t usually plant it. Thanks
@@jeffsmith6717 Okay, well then your best bet is to have naturally occurring food on the property. If there is any way to have corn fields on the property, that could help to draw them in during hunting season. It is not a guarantee, but I know that where I was at in PA, farmers would have the bear move in during October and November and hang out in the corn all day and night. I've seen it myself. Aside from that, they are just to hard to predict as to where they will be. Find the good food, then you've got a chance.
Thanks for the video
👍
Great Tips! Thanks for making this one Sean, I've been interested in getting into bear hunting next year.

You can tell when I've been eating a lot of corn by my scat2
Lol
Which taxidermist did you send that bottom bear to? I shot a PA bear and the rug looks almost exact (different color)
I don't remember the name of the guy who did it. That was back in 1992 so who knows if he is still even in business, but he was in the Coventry area of PA.
28 minutes??? Maybe you could make you video a little shorter. Might get more views!
Clearly you haven’t been watching my uploads since this one which went up many years ago. And the most recent ones, people have complained are too short. Moral of the story is, you can’t please all the people all the time. There’s always going to be some who will not like something. Yours is the only comment of its type in this video that I’ve ever had on it... God bless ya.
Maybe you could get a longer attention span Ron. Might learn more!
Thank you.
God bless you brother.
God bless you too
first off very helpful thank you but also you look like lord farquaad bro
Okay.
God states that cud-chewing animals with split hooves can be eaten (Leviticus 11:3; Deuteronomy 14:6). These specifically include the cattle, sheep, goat, deer and gazelle families (Deuteronomy 14:4-5). He also lists such animals as camels, rabbits and pigs as being unclean, or unfit to eat (Leviticus 11:4-8). He later lists such “creeping things” as moles, mice and lizards as unfit to eat (Leviticus 11:29-31), as well as four-footed animals with paws (cats, dogs, bears, lions, tigers, etc.) as unclean (Leviticus 11:27).
I won't eat a bear, but I might like a rug. Maybe I could find a taxidermist who will barter the meat for tanning my bear hide. Either way, I might get a bear tag when I go deer hunting just in case I run into one.
@@ericferguson9989 I'd take bear meat over deer meat any day of the week. It is so good.
Well sounds like god wants all that delicious bear meat for itself
This was very helpful. I’ll be sure to incorporate this into my hunting plans. Does god also have advice on cooking temperatures? I’ve read conflicting well done temps. I prefer Fahrenheit but can work with Celsius. Thanks in advanced.
