Not sure if it the picture angle but that head looks huge.  Would be interested in finding out the age of the bear.  Congratulations to your boy.

I haven’t really hunted spring bears before, but I might take a swing at it this year. What are the bears eating this time of year? What elevations should I concentrate on? It’s kind of green everywhere right now, so I don’t really know where to start. I checked out some manzanita last Saturday, but didn’t see anything.

They're eating grass mostly. 

Manzanitas aren't quite ready. 

5200-6000

Thx.  I’ll check those places.
