I have two DIY bear hunts planned this year, winter is flying by, not not fast enough.


Goals, one over 20”, the other P&Y 18+

You?

I've been playing hide and seek with my neighborhood bears for years now. Ive been going out for a couple hours most days after work looking for sign. I really really want to get one with my recurve this year.

4 more months ..

Heck yes I am

Seriously though I live in MT and winter just won't let go. We get 2 days of 45 and sunny then 2 days of snow pretty lame. Backcountry is still snowed in only bears out so far are in town or the wrong flavor (spicy g bear variety). A little over 3 weeks out and I've still gotta wear my damn snow shoes to leave a county road c'mon man.

I hear you with the winter. Going to be a long time before we get up high.

I'm always ready for bear season. My only real goal is to do my best to make sure my 7 year old daughter has a chance at taking a bear and for my wife and I to tag out with 3 bears each. Bear is one of our favorites to eat. We also moose hunt in the same area that we bear hunt, so killing that many helps the moose too.

I am going to meet up with a buddy and try spring bear in Idaho this year. Due to my schedule I will only be able to hunt in April and there is still a ton of snow up there, so this should be interesting.

Looks like it will be a slow spring in saskatchewan this year. Forecast doesn't look to be above freezing in the next 2 weeks. Season starts 04/15 but I'm thinking snow will be in the bush until mid may.

dont let him get deep in the bush.

After a 37 year hiatus, I'm going to try and get out for a few hunts this Spring. My long hiatus was due to shooting a really big (chocolate) bear (big for Montana anyways) with a handgun- a four year endeavor that finally came together.

I'm going to keep the bar set high, so likely just a lot of walking my rifle

Have my first western hunt coming up. DIY solo Idaho bear the last week of May first week of June. My goal is to see a few bear but ideally would love to harvest my first. Please share any tips that would help me along the way!

Getting ready here, going to get out and practice more of course. Opens April 1st but doesn't get good until May. Not a ton of snow down low but it was cold until recently so everything is still snowed in. Last few days have started to warm up which is nice

 

[Schoolhousegrizz]

I cannot wait, it pretty much is consuming my thoughts right now. If this dang winter would let up. Planning on going the first week of may. Would love to hear if anybody is seeing sign or bears. Keep the thread updated if you don't mind.

Ditto on the winter. It's spring now!
Enough is enough.

Trying some new areas that we saw a bunch of bear in last fall. Looking forward to some glassing and hopefully a good boar.

 

[Sourdough]

A different reality. Another culling season.

Good to see all my buddies in this post. Hope you all are doing well. =)

 

[Muledeerfanatic]

I can't wait to get out but the fact that it is hammering snow still makes me think that getting anywhere won't be happening until June
Really over this winter b.s.

Ive been ready for spring bear season since the end of bear season last fall. Lol. My favorite critter to hunt.

Last year my goal was a mature boar that was all black. Stuck to my guns and passed on two monster color phase bears and ate my tag.

I'll keep the same goal for this year and will see how disciplined I am.
