Awesome guys, I'm glad I made the post. thanks for the help

I live at my job lol (I'm a live on site strata property manager) so its a bit harder to sneak away if there are people here but before May long weekend it will be easy. (May to Sept is the "ON" months Oct-April is my time)

ill go over early April and see what's up but expect to see the bears ramp up some early May. ill just keep an eye out, and go over every week or two. its simple for me to boat over to Gibson's and stay for a few days.

my son has been bugging me like crazy to take him gold panning or hunting ( I have a few placer claims by Princeton but it to cold to camp in a tent still) so the spring bear is the earliest hunt and should be warm down here on the coast and I don't need to take any vacation days to do it.

also he would love to see a bear up close and he loves spending time with me in the bush
