Spring bear

[exgunner]

Thinking about going bear hunting this spring but having never done it wondering when would be the best time to head north spring is late this year. The bear here are not out yet just wondering if late May would be better I always like opener but have no idea about spring hunting just hoping someone who hunted before could chime in thanks Paul

I was thinking of going as well but not worthed at all.
after talking to couple of outfitters it cost more than going in any other province for spring bear hunting.

Yes I noticed that too.....I might have to miss out this springs bear hunt too.... But if I lived closer I think I would set up during the last week of April or 1st week of May (weather dependant)

Good luck

I live right in the heart of it all, but I just have to many other commitments to throw one together this year, I'll buy a tag and hunt as opportunity comes up, but push comes to shove with the family / hunting time division and since I can hunt bear in the fall, I'd rather skip a full fledged spring hunt and head out for Turkey and Spring snows.

I was not really looking at using an outfitter i have hunted moose for 20 years seen lots of bears, i know when ive baited this year around home i was getting action in a couple days just did not know if it is better to wait till mid to late may or do they start eating berries then just looking to get away for a few days in the bush been a long winter

I will be going mid-May. Currently baiting is going to be the issue with all of this snow. There is at least 4-5 feet in the bush still!!!
