I go to PA every year to hunt deer with my Dad & Brother. Dad is 87 now but still gets out a little. This year I went a week early and took in the bear season. Bear hunting in PA is a team effort - you have to drive them out. No bait or dogs or anything like that - we are our own dogs. There were three of us. On the 2nd drive we set up, I was the driver and jumped a good sized bear, got one shot at it but it went out tward the watcher. He shot six times. It was up hill above him about 80 yards. At the first shot the bear sat down, looked at him and then charged. He kept shooting, six time all together and it finally fell 10' from him. 434 lbs. and 6'4" nost to tail.
