Yes they are perfectly good to eat. Have one going through the grinder in a few minutes I got yesterday. The grass is growing so fast now you can practically see it growing down in regions 2 and 3.
I was cruising with my kids last weekend in 5-01. Only saw one small bear and lots of snow. Might skip this weekend to do some spring cleaning instead. Usually mid to end of may is good for me around hwy 24.
Central reg 8 here last weekend out with the boy I found 1 pile of bear poop, a little small though, lots of season yet, hasn't got good yet, will wait...
