Hello everyone this is my first post on the site. Been a long time fan of this site and have been reading past threads to gather information for myself as I知 a relative new hunter. I began hunting with a compound bow past two years and purchased my first rifle this Christmas.

With my my new rifle sighted in and ready to go I知 extremely excited for spring bear this year and since I live on the north shore , Squamish is really close and know they have a lot of black bears up there ( and grizzlies). I致e read and understand MU2-6 is rough and tough but I want to learn the terrain.

So so long story short I have two questions. 1- Would you choose to focus on ashlu or Elaho if your goal was a spring bear and why?

2- for this time of year would you stay close to the river bottom or up higher for wolves and coyotes? I went up this weekend on the Squamish river fsr and made it to mile marker 19 before I chose to turn around because of the deep snow.
Thanks in advance
