Everyone goes out as soon as the season opens. But unless there is some green grass coming up your best to wait until May. Unless you find another food source. A few years back I shot a bear in April that was feeding on a winter kill moose. Spot and stalk is your best method. I usually only spot from 4 pm till dusk on clear sunny days. If it’s over cast and raining then any time is productive. Don’t expect to see dozens of bears. Many evenings that I go out I don’t see any. It’s a game of patience and persistence. Once you spot one let the stalk begin. Use common hunters sense. Up wind, quiet etc. Happy hunting. Spring bear meat is good to eat if they haven’t been eating garbage or baits or rotten dead animals.
