Some of my spots I have to wait and see what impact the fires have had come spring. Some pockets are not looking good
North of Smithers I do have some pockets I really like
Just think of it this way you know what it’s like near pg well the habitat/feed gets better to the west and there is less people
anything else is PM only
Asked my butcher about that this year, he basically said yes and it's absolutely delicious but it has to be the right bear, spring bears are generally leaner than fall bears and if there's not enough fat it's not worth it according to him...definitely on my "to try" list though when I do put the right one on the ground!

Steven, I passed on a few bears last spring, looking for the pumpkin head color phase. I would shoot a huge black colored bear though, if presented with a 7'er! Can't wait for spring2019, wolves and Yotes will have to fill the void till then! That last huge color phase you shot sure was a beauty! Thats my measuring stick! Moosin

You are what you eat right?
Highly dependent on diet from what I understand, I'm certainly no expert though. Shot a bear in May that had been eating skunk cabbage, didn't trim any fat off any of the steaks and although some bits were tougher to chew down than others there was no problem at all with the flavor...a bear shot on a river in early November would most likely be a different story. Legend has it that fall bears that have primarily been eating berries can develop a sweet taste to their fat, have a spot in mind to test this theory out myself next September, maybe someone else can weigh in on how consistent that is though.

You are what you eat, a buddy of mine shot a fall bear around Fort ST. James that had been feeding heavily on wild rose hips. You couldn't eat it. Yet we've had fall bears that were feeding on blue berries ( blue huckleberries) and were very good. If you don't want to take the chance, a early spring bear is your best bet.
I actually liked the bears I have shot that have been eating rose hips
I like them lean so spring bear is what I proffer vs greasy fall bears
Anyone getting excited?
