Idaho Spring Bear

Well, I guess I can’t feel bad. Spent couples days in your mountains with only a medium bear sighting. Your hill’s steepness are way worse that I imagined and I came from western Oregon. Good luck.

It ain’t for the faint of heart.

How much do bears move this time of year? Found two this weekend but unable to make a move due to terrain/snow and time. Just far enough I couldn’t get as clear a view as I’d like.

One appeared to be laying on a kill. The other was 20 yards away sitting on a branch in a tree watching it. Couldn’t tell but I thought I saw a cub up in the tree with it.

Hoping they’ll be in the general area this weekend.

How much do bears move this time of year?

Typically, not much. The exception is sometimes right out of the den they are looking for a particular spot and may cross a drainage or two. Usually they are pretty predictable as to general area they will be in. Sometimes you’ll see them in almost the identical spot from one day to the next.
