Also, How would you recommend two people hunt this area? This past year I pretty much still hunted or just sat still watching. With only two guys we wont really be able to drive anything. I'm basically figuring on just splitting up and spending time in the woods and hoping for the best! haha
Thanks for the info so far.

bronko gave you good advice.
hyner park is good.there is also motel near renovo,pa.around 45 dollars per night.
bear opens on saturday,then monday to wednesday.
hyner park is nice.
not expensive.
they have a state site for info.
bronkos camp is just a few miles away.
i am not too far also.

its easy too find a bear.
all will be near food.
crews drive for bear.
its LUCK on who gets bear,you may have 50 hunters pushing bear and a hunter by himself gets it.
also there is archery bear season earlier.
weather anymore is usually WARM.
like around 40 or so .

Some guys bump into bears while still hunting the swamps but it's rare. It's so thick, that they bust you before you get a shot.

PA bear hunting is tough.

true, you have to be in crew or around crew pushing the bears.
or like some, THEY BAIT IN BEARS all year and catch them in dark in mornings going to bed.
a lot do this and its illegal .this is way most got their bucks this year, shot in dark of mornings at camp or behind homes or in DARK in fields at daylight.

its hard to find hunters not outlawing these days.
sorry i got off topic.
