Title: Bear hunting in rain?
Post by: fatrobber on August 24, 2013, 07:07:35 PM: Was curious if anyones knows

Does the rain affect bear movement or habits in rain

Over here in Seabeck area was looking to get out tomorrow.

Any input or thoughts would be greatly appreciated

the best way to know is to just go do it. for 1 ok spot iv found I hunted and scouted 20 for my grouse honey holes I put down miles and miles with the dog. what I'm trying to say is go hunt the rain snow sun wind what ever if it works. go bear hunting find a good deer spot go grouse hunting find bears.
