Looking for some advice for Spring bear near McCall. Was thinking mid-May maybe. Would this be too early in a normal year? I know what the weather was like during elk season this year north of McCall. Would it be better to come in and set up a bait site or spot and stalk? Is it hunted hard...
Rifle. I have not spent enough time in Idaho in my life. I’m here more for the experience, a small trophy would be a bonus. I have tags for everything to potentially boost success. I’ll have an RV base in McCall and will spike from there.
I am lucky enough to be hunting the McCall Zone this fall. We have a couple of starting points picked out as best we can sitting on our butts out of state. We do not mind packing back to shed the crowds but we are also aware the country is big and thick. I’ve hunted Idaho before just not this...

New to the forum, what a great place for information. I am sure this has all been discussed and apologize in advance.
Due to work issues I will be unable hunt this fall. That's not all bad because now I can attempt a Spring bear hunt in Idaho and "scout out" an area for future hunts. This is...
