747.0. "Official Bear Hunting Note" by SALEM::MACGREGOR () Mon Sep 10 1990 09:35

    I was thinking of adding a Bear note. If this is not the place Mr.
    Moderator please feel free to move to the appropriate place. I was
    going to add this to Note 270 but I think that note is for Deer only.
    All Bears taken should be added to this note instead of the deer note
    since they are 2 different species. Good Luck to all!

747.3Two Bears are taken on N.H. Opening DaySALEM::MACGREGORWed Sep 02 1992 09:1724
    Bear Season opened in N.H. yesterday. Two were bagged. Next is the
    story reprinted from the Union Leader without permission:
    
    		Two Bears Bagged on Opener
    
    	Two Bears were confirmed killed yesterday on the opening day of
    bear hunting season.
    	One was taken in the Haverhill area while a second was killed in
    Franklin, said Paul Dest, spokesman for the state Fish and Game
    Department.
    	Bear Season for Coos, Carroll and Grafton counties runs until Oct.
    31 and resumes from Nov. 16 to Dec. 6. HUnters are limited to one bear
    each.
    	For 10 towns in Merrimack County, the season runs only through
    Sept. 30. The towns are Andover, Boscowen, Danbury, Franklin, Hill, New
    London, Salisbury, Sutton, Wilmot, and part of Warner, according to
    Fish and Game.
    	Last year 7,787 hunters bought bear hunting permits and killed 123
    bears, Dest said.
    	"So it's difficult to get a bear," Dest said. 
    	Figures aren't avaialable yet on the number of hunters this year.
    	The three northernmost counties harvest 95 percent of the state's
    bears. The state's bear population is about 3,000. "There's plenty of
    bear out there." Dest said.
747.4DNEAST::CURAVOO_GARYCRUZN IIWed Sep 02 1992 10:3812
    I went to my stand last night and after dubbing around a finally
    getting settle in by 5:45. Things were quiet until 6:15 when my 
    first bear of the season came in. It wasn't anything great but it sure
    was nice to see one so soon. First day out first hour in the tree, not
    bad. But it got nervous at about thirty yards and bolted a little ways
    and stopped to take another look. It then circled and started to move
    in from behind me but then spooked out again not to be seen again. 
    My wife (her first time ever out) saw only a porcipine and coons.
    Tonight she is going to sit on another bait where we saw a bear while
    bringing bait in. She'll see one, I'm sure of that.
