Picked up my tag today but won't be shooting just any bear.

Last year we seen a beautiful cinnamon coloured one and going to try to find it again.It's doubtful that we will see this bear again but we're going to try.I would probably take a nice blackie if he were a decent size.

So anyone else going to hunt bear this spring?

Probly get in a few days with my son over his bait.. We will start with the bait station soon.

I'll be taking Junior up North to find him a bear. I'm really looking forward to putting him in front of a bear or two.

I've heard that if you want a cinnamon bear that the best place to go to is Peace river area.

I've never hunted up that way before.

I don't know Sonny,, I wouldn't put much faith in that statement. I spent quite a few years working in the peace country and hunted there over the last 30 years and can't say as I noticed any differance than any other place in the north. To tell you the truth some of the best color fazes I have noticed are North of Lac La Biche. Get up around the Heart Lake Logan Lake country and that's where I have seen some of the nicer colours.

That's a good size grizz track and I agree with the first few weeks in May.

An old hunter once told me once the dandelions are out the blackbird are out

probably fairly accurate predictor as the bears definitely like eating dandelions.
