    I have not taken a spring bear but an old saying that I heard is “ When the big Bumble Bees are out and about so are the bears “ ! Maybe some spring bear hunters could tell if there is truth to the old saying ?

    You'll never miss if you hunt the dandelion patches.
    No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.

    Dandelions and mosquitos, when they are out the bears are out. Although i saw one bear already it was still living in its den.

    K, so, if I want to introduce some newer hunters to bear hunting within a few hours of the LML for a May Long Weekend hunt, who's got a good suggestion of where to go?

    I usually go a little further afield myself, but I need something closer for that weekend that hopefully will give new guys a chance at some success.

    Ideas?
