Bears are typically congregated in areas where the first green grass shoots appear. You hunt on mountainous terrain, it is a tough hunt. You spot bears and then make the stalk. Bears are also hunted by baiting. In some areas hunt by boat is used. Bears are feeding on any green vegetation that grows on southern slopes. Bears are easy spotted from boats; noise of river allows you to approach a bear quite close, and start your stalk. It is very challenging and very successful hunt.
