This is one of the first years I have ever planned my hunting a year before. I am excited and there is a lot to be thankful for. No matter what you got going on. Life rolls on.
I’d like to say that last year was my first year harvesting a black bear. It was difficult as I had been trying for awhile. I had been to late for berries at the hunting locations I had tried in the previous years.
With that being said my first bear came in alpine berry patch. I just picked a spot on a map near my home and researched the correct time for berries. There were four bears where I went to my surprise.
To all the new bear hunters on here. We have a ton of resources here on this website as well as hunters that will personally take you to spots for bear.
The best tool for harvesting a bear is research on the inter web , but nothing will compare and be most successful than getting out there.
I am stoked for bear season. Maybe a spring bear permit...fingers crossed or just being able and healthy enough to get out there and do the damn thing.
I am really excited to get out into the woods.
