Re: Spring bear 2019
I don't think it matters too much where you go in BC. Black bears will be there, it's just a matter of finding them. With that said.
I am not keen on bear but much prefer spring bear, less fat. Where to hunt spring bear. When bears emerge, the first thing they want to do is purge themselves, get the bowl moving. That means they want to forage on some nice new grass and other soft vegetation. Look for south slopes where the grass is exposed to the sun and of course the grass is going to grow greener and faster there. After that watch for ungulates giving birth. A slight whiff of placenta on a meandering spring breeze will have them charging inbound. Pays to pack a fawn in distress call too. You will be doing the ungulate population good too.
Ever eat omega 3 eggs? They taste pretty good poached, fried or boiled. I whipped some up for a light omelette a while back and soon discovered where the omega 3 comes from. Chickens are fed fish meal and that is the source of omega 3.
Fall bear hunting? Want to get omega 3 in your bear meat? Hunt the spawning beds along the rivers or where the fish carcasses accumulate on the lake shores. Otherwise, find the biggest berry patch.
I was to the Salmon Arm Fish and Game Club banquet a couple of years back. The members donate various game meats. For the occasion, Sedo's butcher shop makes a bear/deer/jalapeno and a bear/elk/jalapeno pepperoni which is served as hors d'oeuvres. Hmm m good.
