Day-to-day expectations

What This Hunt Can Involve

No two days are identical. Weather, animal movement, terrain, the hunter's ability and the guide's plan determine how the day unfolds.

Glass feeding areas

Spring strategy can include clear cuts, south-facing slopes, gated logging roads and natural feeding areas.

Watch conditions

Weather and food sources can change where bears are active from one day to the next.

Spot and stalk

When a good bear is located, the guide plans the safest practical approach for a shot.

Hound option

Spring bear hunts may also include a hound-hunting upgrade when Cody confirms that hunt format.
