1 April Idaho’s Spring Bear Season Officially Opens Today! April 1, 2015By George McQuiston Announcements, General Information, Guided Hunts, Spring Fall Black Bear Black Bear Hunts, Guided Hunts 0 Although it has been a mild winter, it still seems like it has been a long one waiting for spring bear season to finally arrive here in Idaho! April 1 is the “official” opener for many of the backcountry units, but in normal years the bears are still comfortably snuggled in their winter beds under feet of snow. This year bears have already been spotted out cruising the south facing hill sides looking for that new green growth they need to get their stomach working after a long winters nap. We can’t wait to get out there and and get after them. We hope you will join us or at least another Idaho outfitter for an Idaho outdoor adventure to remember. See more about Idaho outfitters at www.IOGA.org If you have not made your plans for where to hunt spring bear this season, we still have a few openings available to Bear hunting over bait in Idaho’s famous Frank Church River of No return wilderness area. This is a drive in camp with all access to bait sites after that accomplished by horses or mules. We are in a 2 bear area and wolf season is open as well during the hunt. We have a high percentage of color phase bears and usually amazing scenery to enjoy while in the “Frank”. If you are a do-it-yourself or DIY bear hunter, we are selling bear bait again this year. Contact us for pricing and availability. Related Posts Idaho Spring Bear Season “Officially” Opens in Backcountry Units It is almost time for my second favorite time of year…spring bear season!
