Just found out I just drew a spring archery bear tag for 33 I?ve had that tag before but never got to hunt it.( knee replacement) I figure I?ll start out around the mountain and work my way out from there ,any inside info would be appreciated 35 yr resident so I know hunting spots are guarded,just looking for info that might not be common knowledge , like they do or don?t hibernate,or maybe they like to head to the city to feed that time of year ,what elevation do they like to hang out. That kind of stuff. Thanks any info is appericated. Lol my special wish list a 21” boar 400lbs. If I’m gonna dream I might as well dream big RIGHT!!!!

Can't help you much but good luck on him.

I know a number of years ago when Mt Lemon was on fire a lot of bears were heading to Oracle.
