    I will try for a spring bear this year, sausage and tanned hide if lucky. Seeing 10 a day is typical for early June in 6-8 and 6-9, its a great hunt for beginner hunters. I would be happy to share spots with anybody that would like.

    Definitely good numbers- not particularly big though.

    No matter where you go you need to see a fair number of bears to find a big one.

    Big bears are old and they get that way from 3 reasons lack of pressure, live in a hell hole or being smart.

    Hunt places with no preasure and good feed there will be a higher % of big bears but most are still going to be 4 1/2 - 5 1/2 foot bears

    I see 5-30 bears a day hunting in the spring and only see a handful of bears that are truly big each spring. I also put in a lot of days and try to pattern big bears when I find them. There is bears I have targeted for multiple years even

    Big, North Island Bears, are more likely to be eating fish-seafood?..

    I'll never forget the one we almost hit driving out of Cape Scott, had to be damn near 500lbs..
    He's anything but a hunter.
    More like another, Rain Coast Sociopath Fraud. Living off the prevails of his chronic lies, like the rest of them...

    It's an issue, because these sociopath environmentalist's, will dilute the facts.
    To the point you or Joe public, won't know them any more..
    They count on that big time..

    Good info, thanks. The one in my avatar was a decent size and reeked of fish.

    All types of predators have thick populations along the boundaries of region 3
