Coastal Black Bears- Why do you go? Why Don't you go?

[Ballistic]

I've become extremely interested in other adventures with some of the most common ones enduring intense pressure in recent years. Given the lengths one has to go for caribou or Moose hunting, I'm looking at Bears and deer around prince William sound. If you hunt coastal bears what do you like? What don't you like? If you don't go why? Is there a barrier to entry I didn't think of or just generic lack of interest?

Moose and Caribou is of more interest to ME, always has been. Alaska hunt period sounds like a dream regardless.

For me, it’s overall expense…

I would definitely go if I wasn't required to hire a guide. That's my barrier to entry.

It’s honestly too easy. Not much of a true hunt involved. If you’re fat, okay it might be a hunt for you but it’s really like catching fish in a barrel.
Oh, and they also don’t taste very good. Not as bad as a coastal Fall bear, but they still have residual salmon taste.

Be aware that Spring hunts are on a draw basis. Fall hunts are OTC, but most consider salmon eating bears to be inedible.
