    Are there bears around Princeton?

    I was thinking of making a trip out there. Wonder if anybody can confirm that there are bears out there or if it is a waste of time . My second choice would be out by Lytton .

    Thanks!

    There are bears everywhere in the province. Look for lots of clear cuts and roads and you will see bears. Just glass the cuts and look for bear crap on the roads and you will be successful.

    Exactly, there are bears everywhere in BC...it will be a little early yet in the higher elevations at this time from my experience with black bears...

    Sunday summit might be worth investigating.

    I always saw bears around Tunkwa Lake. Some big Bruins around that country. Lytton would be my second choice to Tunkwa.

    I agree with Tunkwa, it will add almost an hour travel compared to Princeton, but I have seen quite a few black bears there over the past couple of years, one of which was a XXXxl size!

    Get your timing right and you will find bears wrong and you won’t see much

    I just went in a game cam retrieval mission from low to alpine and back. No bears. Didn’t think I’d seen one though. Still lots of snow in places where the sun don’t shine and even low down still pretty brown at least where I was south of princeton. Saw lots of grouse, a moose, some deers, and a coyote though so not a bad day
