Frank Church Spring bear?

The bears won't likely be in the creek bottoms. You'll need to gain elevation. You'll wish you had a spotter if you don't bring it. Stalks can be multi-day affairs in that country, and it's nice to know what you're going after before you commit.

Frank Church Spring bear?

It's a fun hunt if you're willing to put in the effort. Like everything else, bears get hunted hard along the Magruder. If you're going to hunt from a road there's much better hunting elsewhere in the state. Get to the Salmon river, be prepared to hike straight up as far as you need to, and...

Headed back to NW Montana this spring

End of May, beginning of June can be tough in NW Montana. Without snowpack the bears are able to distribute out a lot more, and the rut can cause them to move a lot too. I find it much easier to find bears in expected locations earlier in the season.

I would love to hear about all the grizzly bears you encountered in the Pioneers... JFC, one bear walks in front of a trail camera and all the sudden the griz have decimated the elk herds :rolleyes:

Emergency Meds Rx

Cipro is an absolute tornado of an antibiotic. NO WAY should you carry that around as a "just in case" medication.
