Spring Bear

[bushwhacker1975]

Anyone going for spring bear this year? I'm a couple years out from going again. The air changing has me wishing i was going!!

Me and buddy are headed to Idaho to give it a try. First time going. Don’t expect much but you can’t kill em from the couch.

I am fortunate to live where I can go bear hunting after work, weekends, or multi-day backpacking trips. Bear season opens April 15th and the suspense is building as spring warm-up came early this year. Let’s Go!

Yesterday. Montana. 6.5 PRC with 147 ELD-M. Shot was 120 yards seated with elbows on my knees and took out the heart (lower left of picture), lungs and had some lacerations in the liver. Bear ran around 10 yards and piled up. Taped nose to tail at 5'10".

My positional shooting has improved significantly since I started shooting a Rokstok.

I'm flying out of Nashville to Alberta on 5/16. Can't wait!

Depending on how far north in Alberta you’re going there’s still decent amount of snow in the woods in the northern half currently. Cold and snowing this weekend too

No spring bear in WA anymore. That was taken away from us for no good reason other than anti-hunting commissioners.

I don't have an exact location, but it is about three hours west and one hour north out of Edmonton. It looks like it is warming up some going into next week. I booked this a year ago, so not much opportunity to change plans at this point!

Gotcha, I was 3 hours North East. I was just giving you the heads up to pack appropriately. Are you stalking or bait hunting? It will probably be super soupy up there with the melt. Pack some waders .

Spot and stalk. I agree, it’s going to be sloppy. It’s still better than being at work!
