Iron Ironbender, I have hunted spring bear a fair bit and would have to say that overall in the areas I have hunted it has been fairly easy to notch a tag. I have not notched every spring bear tag that I have had though. Partly because I was picky and looking for mature boars but a couple times I just didn't have a good opportunity. It certainly depends on where one is hunting as well as the weather and snow pack when one is hunting. Anyway most of my hunts I saw plenty of bears but I also actually hunted and hunted hard. Many I think don't really put in much effort.
