Nice offer Doug. This site does need some more activity in trade-a-hunts. Thanks for getting the ball rolling. I see lots of open seats on Lake Erie fishing boats with open offers on OGF. We need to loosen up a little on the the "infamous" tree stand side of things.

Great idea WV I was thinking of doing the same thing with bears here in New Jersey. Chance for someone to get a world record class bear, but I never did it.. Good Luck with your offer. I see there's another member on here from West Virginia, you should touch bases with him and try to find a small lease.. Just a thought..

Just thought Id chime in and say WV does have bears. I see them every year while deer/turkey hunting but Ive never tried to get one or had one in bow range while bow hunting.

Im not sure the rule on hunting them there.

I hunt pretty far north from the OP in Preston Co. But here is one that was hangin around my blind this past season.

After living in AK for ten years...it's almost weird to see bears with ears. Those all look tiny to me. What's a "big bear" weigh in your area?
