Ill be heading there for my very first bear hunt. I will be doing a DIY hunt renting a truck and skiff, looking for any tips I can get! I will have a hunting partner who will be his first bear hunt as well. We plan to do most of our hunting out of the skiff but will have a truck if need.

You'll have a good time. I did it entirely off the road system a couple years ago and saw several bears.
Everyone says to be prepared for the rain, and I was, but the weather turned out beautiful and sunny for most of my trip.
What are your plans with your hides?

It's been several years since I hunted bears on POW but I had a great time & saw lots of bears. I'd love to go back someday. POW has the highest population density of black bears in the world. I stayed at Shelter Cove Lodge in Craig. The bears will be eating grasses in the spring to turn their stomachs after the hibernation. Look for the good green grasses along the beaches & river beds. Using a skiff is very effective. Once you see a bear along the beaches continue on downwind of the bear & out of sight then dock the skiff & go after the bear. Good luck!

I hunted PWS, we used skiffs to get around. Saw tons of bears. Different area, but I believe the same principles would apply. Have fun!
