Spring Bear Hunting on Lackluster Snow Fall Years

[OnGlass]

With reports already coming out of bears moving in Yellowstone, it’s got us talking a lot here at the shop about how low snow years really change things.

In heavier snow years, it feels like bears are more predictable — they’re pinned to lower elevations and limited feed. But in low snow years, they can disperse faster.

How much does a low snow year actually change your approach?

When I lived where I could spring bear hunt, I would be out after bears as soon as the season opened, regardless of the snow. Assuming there is snow at some level, I would still follow the snow line up in a low snow year.
