Never had any luck at it, but I'm hoping to change that this coming spring. I just seem to run into bears every so often while hunting deer/elk, but things never line up very well for a good shot.

So, looking for methods to employ in the spring. It's illegal to bait in Montana and I have a personal aversion to road hunting. I'd like to hear about effective spot and stalk bear hunting. What has worked for you guys in the past?
