1.South of hwy3 from manning to princeton
2. North of hwy3 manning to princeton.
3. South of coquihalla hope to merrit.

Try to have a Binocular available for each of the Kids. I have the feeling you Guys going to have the time of your life perhaps even success.

Sorry but I cant help you with the areas you are referring too, my "expertise" in good Bear holding areas are much further north !

Good Luck and a great adventure

Cheers

All of those areas are good. Keep below the snowline and find some green and you'll find em :)

X2. The kids will just love getting out. Show them a good time, teach some skills. Good luck and have fun.

I’ve had good luck with bears on either side of the #3 between Manning and princeton

Good idea.

Avoid the long weekend if you can.

I just got back from West Kootney's and there's still snow around the 1000m elevation. Didn't see much for bear sign where I was at. I'm no expert by any means but I felt it was a bit too early IMO. The old grass was still very flat like the snow had just finished melting and there wasn't any new grass coming up. Just my 2 cents

makes sense, it’s not May yet.

only the island is lucky enough to hunt bear in April usually I’d wager.

I might think about taking a drive up the Squamish valley. Just a thought.
