Since I was distracted last year (new job etc...), the middle of March came around and I thought about Spring Bear hunting. I looked online and it turned out I was two weeks late for applying. I was really disappointed not being able to get out at all.
Anyway, to maybe help out others out, here's a link to the dates for 2016:
