We came up Mid-late May last year seemed about right for snow melt off for bears. Last year Montana got pound, not so this year. We also came up the last week of the hunt in June. We saw more bears in May. Seemed like the bears had a lot more feed and were harder to locate in June. Just wondering, because of the lack of snow this year should be coming earlier. We have planned the 23-31 of May but could come earlier. What do you expert bear hunters think. This is only my second year hunting spring bear and still have a lot to learn. Does Snow have a huge impact on when bears come out or do they come out pretty close to the same time, depending on the geographical area. We don't have a lot of bears in utah so it is pretty hard for me to judge for myself. Any bear help would be great
