    May long always seems to be our lucky weekend, though we usually start seeing bears in good numbers second half of April. That said, we usually start seeing scat the first week. At this point we're just camping with a gun.

    I've been up to my local valley spot multiple times since opening day. Still pretty brown above 300m, no bear scats or munched greens yet. grass is just starting to shoot up there, along with skunk cabbages along the creeks. Hiked up to the snow-line on Friday, found plenty of fresh cat sign along with rabbits.
    Huntin, fishin, and lovin every day.

    Didn't see any bears today but it's starting to green up nicely, I'll give it a couple weeks and it will be good

    Went out to a second, or maybe third choice spot today since it's low enough all the snow is gone, and sure enough, it's green here and there, but only bumped a few deer....no bears, and no sign. Few weeks and the first choice spot will be in good shape!

    Will get there boys. I finally bought a spotting scope today and got my new M.A.D. Predator call. Will be heading out the mysterious super green spot I found which is surrounded by dead brown one year old slash. Saw a good bear there last weekend. Was a sow so hoping maybe a boat might be around checking her out.

    Went out to check same spot as 3 weeks ago in 3-26. Snow gone! Green was coming on at 3000 ft and below, but nothing growing much higher up. Lots of clover shoots on the sides of the road and cuts are greening. Saw a couple mule does totally ignored me 30 yards away kept munching. Didn't hike because of the accompanying toddler. Did see a stump that looked freshly torn apart for grubs on the way out. Things are starting to look promising!
