Brown bear hunting is open in Romania after 8 years!

[Ridge Runner]

Most of my red stag hunters in the Carpathian Mountains faced the bears during the hunt. The bears and red stag are using the same feeding fields: grass or corn, etc.
I saw many bears chasing red stag during the rut, I experienced bear running in my direction when I started to imitate the red stag. I saw also big red stag chasing bears and wolves.

From the beginning I would like to say that government impose a size limit for export. The limit is 400 CIC points with a tolerance of 5%. If the trophy is bigger is not exportable. We have profesional guides to avoid this issue.

Hold up! If you shoot one too big you cannot export it????? Is Romania run by Californian politicians?

After an 8yr hiatus, would you expect to encounter bears much larger than the recent average?
Have biologists and those taking note said anything about bear sizes?
Of course, maybe more bears could also mean less food to feed them all so maybe just the opposite effect.
