I’m in eastern Oregon and hunt wilderness areas with my teenage daughter and her best friend. Saw 7 bears, but only 1 big cinnamon boar that was in a position we could actually get to. Unfortunately he was on the move and we couldn’t close the gap fast enough. The country is big and steep, so you’ll see bears, but getting to them while they’re constantly on the move is the hard part.
Spring bear is one of my favorites. Bonus was we packed in on memorial weekend and never saw a soul. Had a great time and the kids did great. They love it. Just need to get them to be quieter and not laugh so loud all day while dad glasses for bears.
My daughter got a 4 yr old sow on the first day last year. If you haven’t glassed many bears, learning the difference between a small one and a medium can be tough. The big guys are pretty easy to tell.
