I live right in the middle of that big burn area and we had snow last night that stuck! Your best bet for this area is going to be the last two weeks of May. Prior to that it's pretty sketchy. Good luck.

Just for fun here's a post I made a year ago about spring bear hunting. Just click on the title "Big Bore Boar" and it will take you there....

Big Bore Boar!
With the heaviest snowfall in decades, Montana's spring bear season has been off to a slow start. The season opened on April 15th but access was about impossible until the last few weeks. I have been out evenings and weekends but have not seen a single bear, and only a few piles of fresh scat...

About 3000 ft., Below that access and roads are pretty good.
A significant difference between the prior two years and this. Much more evaporation vs ground melt, imo.
We live along a stretch of meadows that were practically 3' lakes... This year, far from it.
This was taken first week of April 2018. NW MT. This year? A fraction... Hopefully a good feed year to pack the weight.
Best to all. I've done a couple small day hunts and it's greener than the past. I'll edit this with a current pic, off a critical month though the meadow is nowhere near the same this time last year.
Off to hunt the next 6-8 days. Hopefully this year a few bullet connections will be made. These annual threads are enjoyable to follow.
This year:

I have no idea why bear season starts so early. I wish it would start later and run to the end of June. Too much snow most years.
The area across the Interstate from Deer Lodge (215 I think) closes at the end of May. There are bears in there, I doubt there will be time to hunt them this year, unless we have a pronounced warming trend starting immediately.

Congrats to you and your wife and thanks for sharing! It gave a little boost to my spirit. I'm finding plenty of whitetails and muley's both but still haven't found any signs of bears yet.
Good luck out there Sytes.

I couldn't find anything other than it says it cannot be concealed without a permit but I am sure someone will post that knows for sure.
