Didn't know you were a bear hunter KT. Did you get him treed? 12,000ac sounds like a lot of land to somebody who hasn't ever bear hunted, but when they don't feel like treeing they will cross that in a hurry. Bear hunting on a couple hundred acres if you can't get on the land around it is a waste of time. We generally hunt 3-7 dogs at a time. More than that dogs are running dogs and not the game and the few good dogs are getting screwed up by the run and barkers. Nothing like seeing/hearing good dogs work.
If you ever want to hunt some different scenery look me up KT would be glad to have you along.
SmokinM, where do you bear hunt? I've been in Telico, TN and we had huge leases down east NC. Sure was a ton of fun...I don't do it any more, just got too expensive and so much travel...but boy, good times!!!
