Hello all, looking for some advice about hunting bear - I am thinking Cache Creek / Clinton area, but would be open to other suggestions. This is in part because I'm somewhat familiar with the area and like the terrain, however, I was reminded by a friend that there is a huge landfill in Cache Creek and started to think maybe not the brightest idea if the bears in that area would be potentially feeding on it. This would be my first bear so I'd like to get one that is good eating. I heard another story from a fellow on the island that he nailed 2 bears and both were completely full of worms. So my question is - can anyone speak to the Clinton / Cache Creek areas for the quality of bear hunting generally? I keep hearing not to shoot garbage bears, or those that live too close to people - but not sure what the parameters are for that - are we talking 10km or are we talking 100km from people / garbage?
Thanks for reading and for your thoughts!
