In order to ensure the sustainability of bear hunting, bear hunters are requested to: 1. Be patient. Don’t shoot the moment you see a bear! 2. Observe carefully and select an adult, male bear, especially a male grizzly bear. Bears can look deceptively large. Adult males have larger home ranges and will tend to be encountered less frequently than females and younger males. 3. Be aware that there is no open season on any bear (grizzly bear or black bear) less than two years old or any bear in its company (e.g., the sow). Take the time to ensure that cubs are not nearby. 4. Be aware there is no open season on white (Kermode) or
