TheHunt:
Next year they are going draw only for black bear? 

ribka:
Thanks for the info. I have quite a bit of experience viewing bears and will not shoot a sow. Bringing good glass and will take our time and shoot mature boars.

Heard stories of all the non res hunters shooting sows  and small bears up there.


Plan on mostly hunting from a boat. Praying for calm weather :chuckle:


thanks again for your input.


And yes going to a draw only hunt up there starting this year.

The grass will be coming up pretty good by then, but the woods won't be green enough that the bears have moved off the beaches. The clear cuts will also produce, but my money is 95% on the beach that time of year. Another bonus for people who are hunting up in the Petersburg area is that all the guides are in the meat of their brown bear season during that time, so you don't have to compete with them. Try your best to hold out for a boar, the reason its switching to a draw for NR unguided hunters is the large number of sows they harvest. Have a great time! For me the definition of spring is long warmish evenings with bears grazing on the beach like cows.
