i just got home from Vancouver Island, i hunted Saturday around Nanamio River, Cowichan Lake..etc areas and didnt see a single bear track, poop or a bear for that matter. The locals say its a late spring.

I usually wait until late May early June. I find the bears are the dumbest then as the males walk up and down the FSRds not thinking about anything other then a female ready to go into heat. Also they have put a bit of weight on by then, and their coats aren't too bad either.

In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find

havent tried there yet, i was back in Kamloops and saw 2, one was a 3hr hound chse, bear got away. the other was a 3-4foot bear. Way to small!

It seems the areas i hunt at this times years previous arent really that green right now!...? no real bear sign, the deer are out thats for sure
