On a side note, im assuming no proof of sex needed on bears ?

Sorry rookie question

your question is unclear brother, are you asking if you need proof you had sex with a bear? is the bear having sex with other bears? hahaha, no proof of sex needed man, just don't shoot right away, make sure no cubs are present by watching for a few minutes before shooting. Sometimes the cubs are around but you wont see them for a bit.

Exactly...keep a good eye out for cubs in any trees around the bear as well...

I have not seen any bears out yet, nor any sign...however, I have heard that it takes bears awhile to drop sign due to their 'fecal plug' when awaking from hibernation, anyone know if this is true???

If this weather keeps up it most likely will be an early start to the year. We'll see how it goes. Won't really be hunting for bears until after the spring turkey season is done(either I get one or the season ends). By mid-May access into some of the south facing alpine should be definitely possible for a high country backpack trip. I'm looking forward to hopefully shooting my first bear, just want to see what the meat is like, I'm not looking for a rug or a mount. If the family doesn't like the meat it'll be the last bear I shoot.

Snow is still up to my waste in the bush 10 minutes outside of smithers

Thanks! Will make packing out easier.

Definitely take my time for cubs. Would've had one last year but it bolted before i was confident no cubs

alpine bears in September feeding off blue berries taste really good

Agreed! I had a nice one lined up last year but the second I started to squeeze the trigger it must have winded me, I will see if he's there this year

I have seen tracks but no bears seen yet. Too much snow right now.
