well don't know about other bear hunters out there but putting on a few hundred kms in the past few weekends it's bin tough to find shooters.
i've seen quite a few bears but an awful lot of young ones and amazing on how many sows with cubs wether they're blacks or grizz.
what i have noticed lately is that it is very dry in the valley bottoms and there is still a fair bit of snow not very high up. anything in between has barely started to green up. so you would think the bears would have to be out all day but i've found that not to be the case.
i'm wondering if other hunters are having a tough time seeing bears in the okanagan? it's still great to be out there and see other wildlife
so i've resorted to keep picking up the camera instead of the gun.
here are a few pics that i've bin fortunate to capture on the other side of hunting
