I can tell you I am NOT that good. It’s just a goal and I’m just stubborn enough to think it’s doable. I will finish it eventually but it may take a bit.If you can get bear in 3 different Appalachian states in the mountains without dogs in one year, you may be the world's best hunter!
Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it. I continue to strike out on all my out west plans. Something always comes up. This will work in my favor because my dad is trying to finish the AT now that he is retiring. This gives me the chance to travel with him. I can hunt and he can hike or hunt and I’m not constantly worried about him.Drawing a bear tag in maryland is going to be tough, very very limited tags. If you can get a tag it should be one of the easier states to get a bear

They went from 800 to 950 tags in 2020 but it's a fairly low odds lottery, I think it's a 4 day season but the amount of bears I've seen when deer and turkey hunting western MD they are plenty plentiful.Thanks for the heads up.

Bear season is tough in md, tags have gone up over the years but success rates are low and I’m pretty confident the ones tagging bears have a little bait out (illegally) or else have a private farm with corn. I’ve hunted western md my whole life and with the terrain it would be a huge challenge. Doable yes but tough. Best wishes...

That is horrible odds. Now I really want to do it. LolI'm pretty certain success rate hovers around 7%-8%. The tag allows others to be added. I think it's around 1900 hunters for the 900 tags and around 130-150 harvest.
