CNBNews HUNTING/FISHING News for PA: Archery Bear Season Opening Day Nov. 17

BANNER BEAR YEAR NEARLY HERE?
Populations are up, food is plentiful and more hunters are buying licenses as seasons approach.

PENNSYLVANIA–ecent years have been some of the best on record for Pennsylvania bear hunting, and one expert says there’s potential for that trend to continue.
The annual statewide bear seasons again are about to kick off. 
Leading the way is the statewide archery bear season, which opens Monday, Nov. 17. And after that five-day season comes to a close on Nov. 21, properly licensed hunters who still are in pursuit of a bear can participate in the four-day general season that opens Saturday, Nov. 22, then runs from Monday, Nov. 24 to Wednesday, Nov. 26.
