Black Bear Hunting Vanderhoof

[180grainer]

Thanks everyone. The most productive day, I saw 4 bears down kenny dam road and surprisingly none down holy cross. All of them ran off before I got out. I usually do 60kms down the main roads and go really slow down side trails. I've only been hunting them in the last 2 weeks so maybe they are starting to wander away from the roads for now.

I'll try again in the fall. I drive a half ton gas so it's pretty quiet. I got a shot off on one bear down kenny dam road but missed. I was lucky though because after inspecting the site he was sitting at, there was garbage laying around everywhere. I had a clear shot on a 3 legged bear too, but since it would be my first one, I didn't want to tan something missing a leg.

You have to time it right. Best first thing in the morning and during the spring when grass is usually only growing on the sides of the roads. Once it greens up too much, the bears disperse. Last couple of weeks in May is usually pretty good.

Thanks for the info. I hunted after work in the evening and it wasn't until mid June when I started.
