    2024 Spring Bear Thread

    Searched diligently in northwest MT for a week. Finally found the area on the next to last day and saw a beautiful cinnamon on the last night, but couldn’t get in position for a shot in time. That was the only one we saw all week. Had a blast. Saw about every other big game animal. Plan to try...

    Good luck, I’m headed to Northern Montana today. First time to try for bears DIY.

    Slingshot. Right through its eye.

    Rifle Sling hook for shoulder straps

    I’ll figure it out tonight. He told me it’s a very small file. I was thinking it was a large file and wouldn’t be able to email.

    Sure. I don’t know how to do that, but my son probably does 😂

    Rifle Sling hook for shoulder straps

    I hadn’t seen that one. Hope this works well, can’t see why it won’t. It’s really strong

    It only weighs 10g.

    Headed out. Any experience on bear behavior on cold spring days?

    I’m hoping it limits the green up so it narrows the places too look for bears. It may cause them to just keep napping.

    Rifle Sling hook for shoulder straps

    So my rifle sling constantly wants to slide off my shoulder when I’m hiking around while wearing my pack. I researched a little and could not find something exactly like I wanted, so I drew one on paper, my 11yo son made a 3D model of it and then 3D printed it. Came out exactly like I hoped...

    What size spotter for spring bear?

    Young eyes, I remember those days

    Agencies announce decision to restore grizzly bears to North Cascades. I guess this makes it official

    You need to use more emotion to help you help others to know something that doesn’t make sense

    Bear Habitat

    The nice thing about black bears in green fields is that they stand out. The frustration in glassing is you will find there are a lot of black rocks and stumps that like to imitate bears.

    California Black Bear Conservation Plan

    I support returning grizzlies to the San Francisco Bay Area. They would organically solve a lot of the problems the area is facing.

    Bear Habitat

    Early in the season they will camp out on feed and stay in it all day. They will stop eating to take naps, and may find places to “disappear” in what seems like a wide open place by laying in a slight depression or something similar. Bears are like humans, lazy. If they have zero reason to...

    Bear Habitat

    How close do you have to be to glass into the area? If it’s got the feed, I’d look at it. A half mile is no distance at all for them to travel.

    Croatia Brown Bear

    I didn’t even know you could do that, and without it being labeled, I couldn’t find Croatia on a map. Sounds awesome. How big do bears get there and what will the hunt be like? Spot and stalk, or over bait? You stay in a hotel and drive out each morning?

    You are fine with that. You’ve got binos, right?
