This is my first foray into the rockslide forums. I've been stalking around here for years, but have not posted. Looking for some advice in planning a backcountry 2019 spring bear hunt in Idaho. First, I'm a newbie at western hunting/backcountry hunting, although I'm an avid backpacker. I'm planning on packing into the backcountry on a spot & stalk style hunt. A couple of questions I'd like to leverage the collective wisdom of the group on:
1. What are some techniques/methods of E-scouting areas to find bears? I'm looking in units 10, 10a, and 12. Looking at Google earth and topo maps to find avalanche chutes, South facing slopes, etc. What else should I be doing?
2. What time in the spring is best for this type of hunt?
3. Any general advice/lessons learned from your experience you can share?
Thanks in advance
