I'm planning a spring bear hunt for me and my son( he's 6 so I want to try and make it fairly easy)

If I go on the sunshine coast (2-5) I'll be able to sneak away for 2 or 3 nights a week, my car is over there too so that helps.

Would the bears be active and up by April 1st? Or would there be a better time to wait until, early May?
