2026 bears

The creek bottoms near me are green as can be, all full of grass. The problem though, they’re densely timbered. Anything high enough to see through is still brown. Does this mean it’s time to still hunt for these?
 
I'm enjoying this thread. I didn't draw a spring bear tag for the first time in many years, so I'm having to enjoy all the other folk's success!

I Set my bait April 27th here in Wyoming. I went back for the second time a week later to rebait. This big boar had hit the bait April 29th. Only got these night videos because he ripped my game cam off the tree (camera was in a security box screwed to the tree. I moved it higher.) Another blond bear sniffed my camera on the ground on May 2nd. With at least two bears hitting my bait I decided to sit with the rifle this past Thursday...

I’m not convinced either of the last two of the posts above are boars.
 
Got to my site Thursday, rebaited, switched sim cards, and was sitting at 6:10 PM. Saw that a blonde boar with a hurt back leg had been using the bait the night before, maybe the same bear that sniffed my camera previously. was sitting for just over an hour when I peaked over at the bait and this chocolate was sitting in front of it. His head looked enormous from 50 yards away so I got into the rifle and popped him! My first bear and I am pummped. I gutted him that night and came back with my buddy and his horses the next morning.

It’s actually a video and he looks like a boar walking around. Big ol front end. Anyway, the one I shot is a confirmed boar. Balls still on the hide and I got his dick bone!
Congrats! Thats a nice one. I still am not convinced on the video stills or the other image that they are boars, but they can be tricky. The dainty firearms and shape are not a positive confirmation.
