With bear hunting season kicking off this weekend, the Pennsylvania Game Commission says we could see another large harvest.
Overall bear harvest numbers have been going up over the last couple of years in the state, with nine of the largest harvests happening over the last 13 years.
The trend is in stark contrast to nearly 40 years ago when it was rare for hunters to get more than 1,000 bears in a single year.
Muzzleloader and archery bear season begins this Saturday.
