knothead Report post Posted March 15, 2021 I'm no bear expert but I have read they like fresh young green grasses in the spring. Look for green up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calebwalter Report post Posted March 16, 2021 I’m new to hunting and have never hunter bears. Is spring bear OTC or on a draw? I’ve seen articles that make it seem to be OTC but the regs don’t show anything for the spring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calebwalter Report post Posted March 16, 2021 I just realized there was a separate book for javelina, bears, bison etc. It looks like you can hunt otc bear in 24a and 23n starting 3/19 through 4/29, good to know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was bummed because I missed the spring applications while distracted with my frost deer hunt. I’m bummed that I missed javelina but I’m glad I can go try my hand at a spring bear hunt! And if I’m not successful I can try again in the fall! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
el diablo Report post Posted March 16, 2021 Make sure you call n check during the hunt too cuz they close when harvest objectives are met. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
