Spring Bear Montana 2025

[doc holiday13]

Any idea where the snow line will be around Early to mid June?

you'll need to follow the weather, temps, and possibly call the biologist 2x a week for 2 weeks leading up to the hunt. Otherwise its just throwing a dart at the board. You might hit you might miss..

I've seen LOTS of bears early in the morning and they seem to have a mid-day move around 11.
it can be painfully slow some days, other days you see bears all day.
look for mixed habitat. A burn old enough to have new growth big enough for cover mixed with open spots and timber patches. Water in the area helps if there isn't melting snow.
I prefer May because as the days get warm, they seem to get more nocturnal or stay in thicker cover.

Good luck.
