I'm just sayin the bears are out and about.
If they are out in the National Parks then they are out on the south facing slopes .
And the "Boss" I refer to is a known bear to Parks Canada is all.
Good Hunting !

Last Friday..... gonna be a bit yet for us as well
Last weekend up at my new place in Bracebridge i stepped off the snowshoes and sunk up to my crotch.
Rivers are starting swell...where i will be hunting the locals say the bears will come to you. Been warnned by a few of them to never go to my acreage without a gun.
According to Bear Smart, somebody spotted a Black in the Burnt Timber area and Grizzly tracks were seen on Williams creek, but they won't be moving much till there's stuff to eat.
The boars usually come out first.Grizz
Hey Ted
If ya don't mind me asking..... for table fare and sausage making.....which do you prefer spring bear or fall bear?
I ask because I've never eaten a spring bear , only fall bears and I imagine they would taste different after a winter of hibernating vs fall when they are extra fat from heavy feeding.
Not sure if this is true or myth but I have always gone on the premise that spring bears are better for taxidermy and fall bears better for eating but I have not harvested many bears in my lifetime so my experience is limitted.
Vowing to get serious about bears this year though as I keep having close encounters in my favorite deer spot

I am excited but my spring bear hunt isn’t almost here, it’s still almost 2 months away. I’ve been getting out with the bow weekly for the last month in preparation and am really enjoying that. In the mean time I will keep the pressure on the coyotes for the next 3 weeks then switch gears into turkey season which conveniently leads right into bear season.
I know that my part of our great country is not exactly looked upon as the best place to live if you love to hunt but between waterfowl, deer, grouse, coyotes, turkeys, and bear I find myself with only a couple of months per year when I’m not hunting - thankfully that’s the same time when the family likes to vacation at the cottage on Lake Huron; it’s not the perfect hunting life but I manage

Nothing wrong with that at all, in my neck of the woods the only month I can’t hunt for meat is July. Snowshoe hare opens in August and closes at the end of April, black bear opens April and closes at the end of June. Everything else is sept till dec, gotta love it!
not Ted, but
both are very good and will not avoid one full of berries in the fall ...
unless we got snow now, that will be an interesting early season for us for sure ...
