Hunt the SE hillsides , early Spring. How do you see lots of bears like I have? My words to bear hunters that want to see "feeding" bears, not running bears. Pinch forefinger and thumb together. Between those fingers you pull the keys out of ignition.....Hike in 2 miles minimum. No ATV, no rigs, total quiet. You will see bears. Bears will hole up in the cool wet draws, be in position before the thermals change from uphill to downhill. Once the sun goes behind mountain( SE slope gets shade first) the thermals drop and once that bear "smells" nothing is above him, he will move up to feed.I've been lucky to have been less than 20' from a dozen bears in my hunting and crawling to there feeding lanes. But I lived for crawling after bears and have seen hundreds, best day 10 , 2 of them 6'+, and one Grizz. North of Priest Lake Idaho was my stomping grounds. The ATV's sure wrecked alot of quality hunting areas with the noise pollution.....
