    April Snow and Black Bears

    This is only my second season hunting bears in the spring, or just hunting in general, so I'm wondering, given the recent influx of snow in my yard.

    How does snow in late April affect bear behaviour?

    Not a big deal really slight impact if you are going to hunt that day. If it warms up and becomes sunny right after the moisture will promote things to green up as well

    The grass is just starting to green up, the bears are moving, fresh snow on the ground above 1000m in loops. I dont think it will affect the bears too much but I always wait until the dandelions are blooming and the mosquitos show up. Its ice off season and the fishing is slammin, the bears can wait.
