Spring Bear 2023

[schoolhousegriz]

Yesterday we got the most snow in town i have seen since living here, cant imagin what elevation got. I am thinking bear season just got delayed or atleast these effects will linger till opener.

It's getting ridiculous. Whereabouts are you living?

 

[Red Fox]

The next 10 day forecast is snow or cold, with 20 days until opener. Not sure we will be seeing much melting before then. Going to be a late year.

I don't really want another bear rug, but if somebody new where I could get a coat made out of a hide I'd be back in the game. Anybody got an idea of where I could get one made?

Moved to Montana 3 years ago. I haven’t made it out hunting bears since moving up here. Hunted bears in the big horns Wyoming every spring. Looking forward to trying to get one down again this year.

Taking my brother to Alberta in May and then I drew a tag in NE Oregon that I'll hunt when I get home. Spring bear is one of my favorite things to do every year.

I didn’t draw this year but have been out poking around for exercise with the dogs. We jumped a cinnamon phase up out of Union on Wednesday walking a closed road. Dang bear was sleeping under some Reprod about 10 feet off the road. Been hearing about a few bears showing up around the Grande Rhonde Valley.

[Bill Zent]

Dang, wish I was closer to you.

My bear coat probably wouldn't look like that one, but it would make me feel like the guy wearing it.

 

[Brian in Montana]

At the rate things are going in Montana the bears aren't going to wake up until about August.

I spent morning on mountain, there is significantly more snow in town than up high from recent storm so there is hope.

 

[Elkmagnet]

Why do you guys always fire a spring bear thread out so early......


Really phucks with my emotions.

I checked out of my favorite parking spots the other day. Probably close to 3 feet on the ground. Daytime temps are supposed to be upper 40’s but still freezing at night. It’s not going away anytime fast where I am

What’s this “Spring” thing I keep hearing about?! -24 F this morning; 3’ of snow still on the ground.

Oh, and no bear season in CO

SPRING:

1. 1.
   the season after winter and before summer, in which vegetation begins to appear, in the northern hemisphere from March to May and in the southern hemisphere from September to November.
   "in spring the garden is a feast of blossom"

You have done well.
