I’m hearing it was a mild winter. Green up coming sooner.. some bears already seen roaming.. what are y’all’s observations or thoughts so far this year? We usually hit 2nd week of May.. but may look at end of April. We usually hunt 4500-6500ft.
Hands down the best experience I’ve had in Alaska! Glassed 2 bears on day 1 shot this one the first 4 hours of my hunt! Not the largest bear but I was on a time crunch and they went above and beyond to make it happen!!
Family member just got back.late spring and Bad weather , the guide outfit they went through had 5 brown bear hunters none successful. Said bears were still higher than the Mtn goats .. tough stuff ..
