Who's Bear Hunting this Spring?

Good luck to everyone I'm in the waiting period time for a few years now.

Why would a person NOT hunt bears in the spring??  :D  


I have a friend from GA coming up to help me catch one this year too.

I am hunting over bait this year in Idaho.  Have had good luck the last 3 years.  Usually end up heading out in June to hunt.  Seems to be the best time for us up here.  I am gonna try with an older Bear Kodiak Magnum this year.  I really want to shoot a bear with a Bear bow.

I always envied you guys that could hunt deer close to home. Well, bears are to me as deer are to you. I hunt them every year. Here are a few I've gotten in recent years.

Well, that didn't work. Let me try again.

I will be in Quebec again for 21st year and this year again with a bunch of Trad-Gangers can;t wait.In fact I was just unpacking sweets in front of TV.  Good Luck to All and a safe trip as well.  Take alot of pictures.

Ken T,
 Those are some DANDY Bears you have taken.

[D. Key]

Best of luck Claudia. I won;t be going this year but hopefully in the next two years for me.  I went a couple of years ago North of Winnipeg  but the weather and our outfitter "snookered" us.  Long story but it wasn't your Outfitter we went with.

Be sure to post pics.

[Ken Taylor]

Thanks guys!
I started hunting bears as a kid. Ended up being a misc. big game guide for most of my adult life. Ran a bear camp quite a while in Quebec. My guys got lots of big bears in different areas of  the province. Am now semi-retired.  Kinda miss it. Old habits die hard and I still run baits just for pleasure for myself, family, and friends.

I now hunt south of where I live in northern Quebec. I like hunting from the ground in natural blinds. Just for the heck of it, I cleaned up the cedar arrow I used to kill my 2008 bear and killed my 2009 bear with it. Will be trying for a third with that same arrow this coming spring. Like to keep things interesting.

A sincere wish of good luck and good times to all this coming spring wherever you are hunting.  Ken

Cool Ken! Thanks

Good luck, this spring will be my first attempt at a trad hunt. I am lucky to have bear here in NewBrunswick and do my own hunts. This won't be my first bear but if it works out, it will be the one I will be most proud of. I'll be looking forward to hearing stories through out the season.  >>>> RAY

I hope to hunt in Maine again, maybe this fall.  I have been there four times with Eldon Jandreau of Hunters Point Guide Service.  Good guy to hunt with but it's stands over bait and I would love to try a spot and stalk hunt sometime.  Woods are so thick up there from timber clear cutting over the years it would be a tough place to spot and stalk--guess it could be done but I've never tried it.  Best of luck Claudia and the rest of my fellow 'gangers on the spring hunts.....Dave
