bear hunting around grand cache

[damienelliott]

I have a few questions. I am going bear hunting in the grande cache area, and i was wondering if any 1 would have some advice on spot or time of day is the best. I am only going for a few days so baiting is out of the question. spot and stalk it is goin to be but i have never hunted bear but i heard that is a good area. if any 1 has any advice it would greatly appreciated thanks

I would drive hiway 40 north of grand cache and glass the slopes, you will see bears. Hope your in good shape because it is straight uphill. Another good idea is to have a guy on the hiway to keep you going in the right direction, it can be tough to tell exactly where you are once you start the climb. Good luck

Get on any of the bush roads around, lots of bears just hit the pipelines where it greens the fastest. Just for advise your not allowed to bait in these zones! Afternoons and evenings are best in early season.

Rockymountainmusic nailed it, put lots of miles on. Last week of May is a great time to spot the big guys. Tons of bears in the Kakwa area and from what I've heard from a few hardcore bear hunters is there are lots of color phase Yogi's in that area. Be prepared to see a few grizzlies as well guys.
