Cinn Bears

[slyfox]

This year ill be trying to shot a cinn or light brown bear to put on the wall ill be trying around boston bar it the only area that i realy ever see cinn around.just woundering what you guys think what reg holds good numbers of colered bears.

[Foxer]

I see browns and cinn's in lots of places. I don't really know which area holds a higher number of them tho.

[Poguebilt]

I think you'll have good luck up at boston bar!

7-12 / 6-04

[Steeleco]

3-13 there seems to be a good number too

[rocksteady]

The West Kootenays has the highest percentage of "off color" bears of anywhere in the province....In the opinion of one of the head biologists who looks after these things....

I have personally seen all colours - Cinny, Chocolate, blonde and anything in between...Just no kermodes:biggrin:

[Schmaus]

I seen quite a few cinnamon colored bears last year in 7-16 but they all seemed kind of small. Is this common for all colored bears to be small?

[Gus]

I think its cause they get shot before they get a chance to get big. Guys will take a cinny of a size that they would pass on if it was black, just because its a cinny. My opinion anyways.

i saw a huge cinn bear last year unfortunately she had 3 jet black cubs tailing her. I saw this bear atleast 7-8 times and once i almost had to fire a shot over her head to get her off the road so i could get back to my truck.This bear was roaming around region 3.

I am in the West Kootneys and I can honestly say my first 10 bears were every color but black! The spot I hunt it seems the gene pool has a blonde/light brown streak because it wasn't until the last couple of years I actually harvested "black bears". I have been bear hunting since I was a little kid and I have taken my share of bears and I can count the "all black bears" on one hand:D If you want a color phase I know a good spot..................................:wink:

[Elkhound]

Geez Jason. Color phase bears, elk, deer. You have some sweet honey holes. I might have to come visit some time

[slyfox]

Holy cow guys all i see is black bears i have shot at least 10 blacks and seen 2 cinn only thanks for all the info now i have to plan were to go to many spots not a nuff time.

[mcrae]

Trust me I am a much better bear hunter than an elk hunter:biggrin: The elk are usually very safe even when I am trying!!! Lots of bears to go around here though:wink: I have the grizz tag for the area this spring so the "black" bears will be safe for the most part too.

[slyfox]

I got a grizz tag to but only going in may so ill try april for blacks.

[3kills]

the area where i got my bear last year has lots of different color phases i think we only seen one bear that was black when i was there but for some strange reason i cant remember where that area is ;)

[ex bc guide]

Last spring I seen 9 different colored bears in the boston bar area.

3 kill you probably cant remember the spot becuase the bears are small and you use your 303 on them i still have that sling shot and a 300 with 200 gr bullets if you wont to go for some thing big.............:biggrin:

[ruger#1]

sly , hat creek in september, the strawberries are still out and they are roaming around, also the hills in between lyyton and lilolet , but ive seen more cinns in hat creek, i would like to know where to hunt the quail in oliver.

[ex bc guide]

rugar#1, your dad should be able to help you with the quail!
Mike

[ex bc guide]

Mike

[slyfox]

[ruger#1]

[bsa30-06]

I've seen lots of bears at the opposite end of 3-17 (opposite the hat creek area closer to lytton)I spend alot of time in this area in oct. and still manage to turn up a few bears.Last year my hunting partner missed one and i passed on 2 and saw a sow (cinn) with 3 black cubs following her.I saw those cubs on about 7-8 ocassions last year and watched how fast they grow we ran into each other so many times we were on a first name basis.(and yes i did name them, i had to call them something).

ya 6 feet is a pretty small bear but i didnt use my 303 last year i used my 300....this year i just might use my 303 and drop 7 footer just to prove the .303 will still get the job done :D

[mark]

last bear i shot, was a 7 ft. light brown in 100 mile house!

What time of the year is the carp off ruger.3 KILLS 6 and 7 footers come on just a little hint maybe around merrit.

[ruger#1]

its around July. there are also bass and catfish in the lake. and all the carp if you don't want to keep them, go to a Hungarian man that makes carp soup, i wonder what that tastes like. i will try to find the date when is on. last years top prize was a nice pontoon boat.

[3kills]

slyfox actaully no it wasnt around merritt i cant give u hints cuz last year was the first time i hunted there and its not my honey hole its some body else's...

[slyfox]

Well if you cant give hints you better get that 7 footer with the 303 and some pictures of the beast.

[ryanb]

Region 3 has plenty of Cinnamon bears, as has been mentioned.

Well if you cant give hints you better get that 7 footer with the 303 and some pictures of the beast.
