    I still have a lot of bear meat and lard in the freezer from the one I took in the fall. I'll get a tag and hit the bush looking around for one, but I'll have to decide if take a shot if and when an opportunity presents itself.

    I plan to do some hiking, scouting,exploring in a newish area. Seen bear sign and a few smaller bears there last year. I think I will just pack the rifle and kill kit. If I see one I like I’ll take it. If not I plan to spend more time outdoors then ever this year, so it’s win win. I also take my rifle when I go fly fishing,never know when a monster will cross the road

    My father and I are hoping to go into the Horsefly/Likely area. We have never been in there before and we will take what ever we see that is legal to fill the freezer for the summer. My 4 kids love bear meat. We are hoping to get 2 spring bears.

    Both areas hold tons of black bears..going to be a bit later..most snow in 15 years..over the years Mother's day has been my most successful spring black bear date...shot a huge chocolate bear mothers day in Horsefly.
    My first choice for this spring.

    I have always purchased a Black bear tag and have never filled one. I have seen quite a few bears while out hunting, but never felt the urge to fill it. With changing times and my family real enjoying eating wild game, we have decided to add bear meat to our diet. I will be out in region 3, looking in the early green up areas to find that nice spring bear. Good luck to everyone!

    I wonder if the animals rights groups will now protest the blackbear hunt this spring since they got the grizzly hunt band.
    I think we will soon hear them squawking come April .
    Can 't see why they wouldn't.
