Spring Black Bear Pursuit
Temperatures are bouncing back and forth between cool and sun-filled warmth, which means south-facing slopes are melting off, and green shoots are expanding into true leaves, becoming a dynamic food source for bears emerging from dens. Elk calves and deer fawns will begin dropping, providing a more abundant food source, and as bears start to recover from hibernation, the rut will begin.
Spring Black bear hunting is an anticipated season for many. It is not without difficulties, so a well-researched plan based on good in-depth knowledge and asking many questions of the right people (if they’re so inclined to divulge their secrets) will help tremendously. Everything from the weather to elevation to the week of the season and the bear’s corresponding activity can affect a successful or non-successful hunt.
