East TN Bear Hunting Partner?

[TracksWapiti]

I'm in my second year chasing black bears in East TN. Still trying to get my first bear. Primarily backpack hunts with a predator call but do some spot-and-stalk from canoe as well

I enjoy solo hunting but I know it wears on my wife, especially considering the SAR calls she's dealt with on two of my elk hunts out West...

I am open to hunting with a partner if there is someone out there that is interested in working hard for a free chase fall black bear

I've done a lot of e-scouting and 4 hunting trips so far in Bear Zones 1 and 3 in the Cherokee NF. Feel free to message me if you are interested in joining for a day hunt 10/28 (BZ 3) or an overnight weekend hunt 12/7 (BZ 1)
