    Grizzly hunting

    Hey guys. Won a LEH for 3-44. Going to start hunting from middle of April.. what do you think, area around river would be good to start? Or I should look more for open areas with a good grass first? What's the population of bears at that area? I'll have my black bear tag as well, but I am focusing on a Grizzly first , as it's my dream.
    Is anyone else going there for LEH? Thank you

    Don't know much about the area, but I'd say hunt the grass up areas, in slides, or clear cuts, south facing, is what I've been told for griz, which makes perfect sense, and can be similar to hunting blackies in that regard..

    Yeah, I've read about that too, but there is a river too. Bears love to hang out on riversides.

    They do love rivers, typically when the salmon are running. Which is not typically in the spring.

    In the spring, go green

    Thank you. What do u think about dates? Should I start from beginning of April? It's pretty high evaluation, and I heard there is still snow up on hills in area.

    You won't make it anywhere in the beginning of April round there, If you're just gonna do one trip I'd go quite a bit later.
