Spring bear and turkey hunting: Take your time - FishNews - 05-02-2008
The remaining controlled eastside spring bear seasons and statewide general turkey seasons opened April 15. But no need to be in a hurry to get out-take advantage of the long hunting seasons (through May 31) because access to traditional hunting areas may be difficult due to snow, particularly in the Wallowa District which has received record snowfall. Bears remained denned up later than usual this year, and the peak of turkey mating behavior-when toms are most actively searching for a mate or a fight, and are easiest to call in-could also be delayed. See the spring bear and spring turkey hunting forecasts for tips and local information about hunting conditions.
