In this episode, Chris Young joins me the day before he heads out on a spring bear hunt, and we dive deep into everything that makes spring bear hunting so special and challenging. We kick things off by talking about e-scouting bear country, tracking snowpack, and satellite imagery to build Plans A through F before ever setting foot in the mountains. A little storytelling on one of the best-looking color-phase bears. And if that wasn’t enough, we get into the story of how he killed an absolute giant boar on the last day, last light of a six-day backpack hunt after having an absolutely brutal hunt. Pure grit. We also crack the puzzle on bear seasonality — why understanding what bears are doing in April vs. June is the single biggest thing that’ll make you more successful. We wrap up talking tarps (the most underrated piece of your spring hunting system), the power of research papers for understanding bear biology, and why Google Scholar might be the best scouting tool you’re not using.
