Looking for help on bear hunt!

[Photonuts]

Hi everyone, I was at Squamish Valley road yesterday trying to tag my first bear. For the whole day, I only seen one bear 500+ yds away which is on the other side of river! (At appox 34 mile) But I have no idea how to find the bear, I checked most of the logging road, and we drove up and down like 3 times. Is that anything we do wrong? Please help !! Thanks

Maybe you should quit road hunting? Sometimes in more populated areas the animals will go hide in the bush when they hear a vehicle coming. If you spot a bear on a grassy slope hang around in that area because they are likely feeding there and will return. goodluck.

If you feel comfortable hunting via logging roads then you have every right too, that bear most likely walked behind a tree, bush or whatever. With these hot days you will see way more than one bear a day so dont worry about filling your tag so quickly. In May ill see 5-10 bears a day and im never rushed to tag out.

Patience, you need to have that for hunting.

Bears will be out in force in a couple weeks so you will not have a problem finding them.

Road hunting is one of the best ways to hunt them, drive along a valley, stopping every once and a while and spend some time glassing the hills, looking for a bear. Glass and drive is a very productive way to find bears.

Good luck

Cheers

Some young bears think they are hiding because they can't see you. I've had a couple that just had their head behind a tree and look at you for a couple seconds and then put their head back behind the tree, but I could see the whole bear except for the head.
