RE: your favorite bear hunt?
I like to handgun and bait hunt. The combo seems to work well. Although I hunted spring and fall here in WY I didn't get one this year.
I also hunt in MT but it's spot and stalk. I take along my rifle when I go up there.
It's not quite as much fun shooting them at the longer ranges with a rifle for me so I like the baiting better because I'm right on top of them.
