Title: Anyone been out for spring bear?
Post by: engelwood on May 12, 2016, 10:23:46 AM: Just curious if any members have been out looking for spring bears much? I hope everyone is having some luck finding some bears and taking advantage of their tags. Hoping to find one in the coming weeks. Anyone having any luck with calling now that fawns are dropping/dropped?

Post by: fair-chase on May 12, 2016, 08:26:37 PM: I've been out for 19 days total trying to get my youngest (10) on a bear. No luck yet, but we spend as much time eating ice cream and skipping rocks on the river as we do actual hunting. So it's no surprise we have not connected yet. Just enjoying being outside for now.
