PalmerMOON PHASE AND BEAR
In springtime black bear hunting how significant is moon phase?
I looked at an old post about Brown bear and moon phase but it related to fall season.

Palmertsturm,
Good point.
We non-Alaskans forget how long the daylight is up there and try to apply what we experience down here to up there.
Thanks.

That did bring back Old eastern Washington whitetail memories!
Have a GREAT HUNT!!!!!!
Tsturm is spot on. Moonlight is much less a factor than weather.
You wouldn't think it would make much difference in a place that gets 150"+ of precipitation but you'll definately see more bear activity on the first pleasant day after a wet spell. Cold, calm, and clear will beat warm, wet, and windy anytime.
