Canada Spring Bear Hunt
The snow has melted, and the weather is warming up. The long winter is over and the bears are coming out of hibernation. Patience is the name of the game when it comes to bear hunting. Both waiting for the right bear and the right shot angle are vital whether hunting over bait or spot and stalk. Mid-day rain is a possibility and the hordes of hungry mosquitos are a guarantee. Bringing the proper gear will keep you in the field or stand longer increasing your chances of bagging that trophy black bear you've always dreamed of.

Tree Stands & Accressories
When hunting over bait in a tree stand in Saskatchewan, I use Elevate Hang on stands which I believe are discontinued. These stands have always worked great for me and next year I am planning on trying the new Novix Helo stands to save weight.

Food & Nutrition
It doesn't matter if I'm on a hunt or in my day-to-day life. I eat healthy, I want to feel my best, especially while on a hunt. While bear hunting weight isn't a factor so I bring healthy delicious snacks I can eat throughout the day or to pass the time on long sits in the tree stand.

Rifle Equipment
When it comes to shooting bears with a rifle I believe a big heavy bonded bullet that punches two holes is very important and larger .30 caliber bullets kill the most effectively.
