I just helped a friend kill her first bear. We hunted hard for it, weren’t seeing much sign, only bears we bumped were on major backroads. Covering like 350 kilometers per day in the truck. That’s saying a lot because we ALL hate truck hunting.
The evening we shot that bear we saw 9 bears total. Up until that... nothing but one bear that stuck it’s head out before hightailing it into the Bush.
Our collective opinion was that they hadn’t been out that long due to the late spring, as all the bears we saw had beautiful pelts and weren’t rubbed at all.
Cover ground and get on as much green clover you can find that’s near thick, thick cover and overgrown (old) logging blocks. It’s the only thing that worked for us.
Every bear we saw was between 10:00 and 18:00, between 13 and 22 degrees celcius. We saw nothing at first or last light, oddly enough.
Hopefully this helps you out. Big grizzlies are a pretty major predator of black bear so it’s possible they pushed them out. I know the two tend to share range but inhabit different parts of that range.
