Elk were once prominent here in the ADK's but the last know elk was shot in 1847. I'm not trying to be negative but as long as I can recall I've been reading stories about black bears attacking and sometimes killing humans. If there's really a problem with black bear populations perhaps there should be more hunting opportunities. What other huntin opportunities would you like to see. I've heard them in the woods and while camping also.
Bears are a magnificent creature.
Although I don't hunt them I support those that do. These folks can help. This site has lots of cool stuff like harvest figures, fishing info and links to Game and Fish sites of other states. Now they even have a detailed hunting section with articles, surveys and all kinds of hunting info. It's nice to see a major media source back our sport.
