Hello HBC,
I have been lurking on this forum for a couple years and my father and I have finally made the jump into the hunting world. We are avid fisherman, and are so excited to start hunting in our beautiful province!
We went on a 3 day deer hunt last fall, no success unfortunately. However with Spring coming around quickly, I have taken it upon myself to plan us a Black Bear hunt. We fish lots out of Tahsis and head through gold river and after researching lots I actually believe this is a perfect area for us to bear hunt. My first question is when I am looking at areas on google earth, should we be looking for the newest clear cuts to hunt or the opposite and looking for more developed areas? What are characteristics of a good area that would have lots of bears? When hunting the bears, is it better to leave the truck and hike or is driving for bears not a big deal?
Thanks so much for any tips and answers, feel free to pm me and have a nice day!
