I’ve decided to book a week at one of the lodges. Is there a better time of the season to hunt? I have noticed watching videos on YouTube that many times the bears are rubbed out. Does this happen later in the season?

Does your lodge come with access to a skiff to cruise around on?

I don’t think so. I’m going to make some calls, but most of the websites say lodging and a truck are included.

I will be doing it similar to you. I'm staying with a friend who lives there but doesn't own a boat. He seems pretty confident about getting me into bears via truck/day hikes. He is going to arrange a boat for a couple days but plans on driving places we can hike in for the day.

I truly enjoy bear hunting, despite previous failures to punch a tag. I've done two spring hunts in Montana now and was in good ground with lots of sign both times, but only had one fleeting opportunity during that period which I was forced to pass on. I also added a CA bear tag to a Columbia...
