Hey all,
I am a HS teacher by trade and my summer plans just opened up time for a MT black bear hunt. Honestly, I'm just looking to get into the back country after a long school year. Getting a bear would be amazing, but I'm just looking forward to the experience. I will be free to roam after May 23, so I'm planning on hunting a Unit that extends into June. A few questions...
-What is bear behavior generally like in the later part of spring season? I've seen some saying it's been an early spring, what effect would that have for a June hunt?
- How are snow levels in MT looking?
- Should I spend more time in steeper country, rolling country, or is it a toss up?
Not asking for any secret spots, just looking for tips/info to have a great experience on public land. I've already learned a lot from reading other threads and the FWP.
Thanks!
