It’s looking like this year’s black bear season will get an early start in terms of snowmelt and green up, at least in BC, so with this in mind, we dug up an episode from last spring where Nolan and fellow mountain guide Jared Christon discuss all things black bears. If you’re getting the itch to get out and chase these fascinating critters, there’s plenty in this episode for you.  @nmo  @canadian_black_bear_taxidermy  ---------------------------  SUPPORT WILD SHEEP:  Go to Wild Sheep Foundation to find a membership option that suits your budget and commitment to wild sheep.  DEALS & OFFERS:  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!
