Getting excited and counting the days down to get up to Idaho on the yearly bear hunt. Who else is waiting and planning on hunting Idaho bear this year.
A few questions for the resident hunters. I'd love to hear from you and I'm not asking for hunting spots just current conditions and your opinion for this years hunt.
We hunt the upper/northern part of the state. I do have several contacts (hunters and conversation officers) that we have met over the past twelve years of hunting idaho that we keep in touch with in our general area.
How is the snow pack and have you seen much activity of bears yet. I know a couple people have tagged bear already, but asome it is probably farther south then we hunt.
We hunt Idaho every year and are count the days down to head back up this year. Some years the bears are just getting out and about as the season ends (end of May) and others they get out really early, depending on snow pack, melt and tempetures. We have been watching the snow pack, snow melt, tempeture and if needed will leave a week or so earlier then planned if need be!!!
Will be doing an eleven day hunt starting on the 18th of May in the upper part of the state, but may need to be ready to head out earlier with this years weather and snow pack.
Any info on conditions would be appreciated. Best of luck to all the other bear hunts and post up your results.
