I want to start off by saying my wife and kids have wanted to go out west with me for acouple years now and to be honest I've ran out of excuses not to take them. I wholeheartedly believe we can do this and more or less am looking for guidance from people who have hunted western states with children. What were some things that you would make sure to do? Would you do it again? Any tips or concerns camping/hunting with kids in grizzly country? (Plan to camp inside a hot fence)
For some context : We are a family of 6 (4 kids ages 9-12) its not uncommon for us to spend 25+ hours a week in the deer woods during nov-dec. All of the kids have harvested deer and honestly i could not ask for more patient and driven wife and kids. We are in the planning stages of a 5+/- day DIY spring bear hunt late may/early june, Spot and stalk, Will be driving from indiana and truck camping in either idaho or Montana, wife and possibly myself holding tags. This hunt is being geared towards my wife and kids having a positive experience hunting out west that hopefully results in my wife harvesting a bear. A rough plan is to enjoy the morning around camp and focus on bears in the evenings. Hike in the early afternoon and glass until dark. We will more than likely hike into a different area and glass new country every day unless we are turning up bears. Any criticism is appreciated!
