Do it all your self hunt, staying at a friends cabin who is not much of a hunter, the only help i get form him is "There are bears all over", and he wont be there during the hunt.

You'll probably spend time looking over bears looking for a hide.

Seems late for spring bears. You'll be looking on beaches and in clear cuts with lots of green. If you have a boat you can hunt the beaches. That's the primary method. If not you can hunt clear cuts and rivers where they run out onto the beach flats.
