So I was wondering how much does the moon affect spring bears. I have not heard much for bears on the topic. Thought's and experience greatly appreciated.

never even thought about full moon during spring bear hunt. good topic, I too am intrigued. nights are usually cloudy and rainy during spring in mountains.

Full moon helps you see them at midnight for a better shot.
And that is the second time I have literally laughed out loud in my hotel room! Thanks!

I just reached out to a guy I know that guides to get his thoughts. Will post when I hear back.

It never even crosses my mind. I like to get out around the last of April, here in OR. Weather definitely seems more of a concern and I just deal with what I get with it too! It will be interesting what all the other folks have to say. Extractor's post did bring a smile!

he said "bears are affected by the weather and feed more than anything." And "moon doesn't mean sh!£ to bears..."
