Does anyone know if the first gate on PCR is open yet? A friend told me it usually doesn't open till Memorial Day and I just want to do some exploring down there this weekend.

not sure if it's open yet, but last year I hunted it and passed a nice bear dumb mistake. itwas open on memorial day weekend with little snow way up high. the bear was all the way down near the creek. personally i'd drive to the second gate and walk in from there as there was quite a bit of vehicle traffic. the other gate won't open until way later.

Well went down on Saturday. I also walked into the switchback. I tried calling in two of the clearings that they have been working on with no results. I think all of the clearing that they have been doing has pushed the bears higher up.
I tried to find bears just about everywhere I could think of and all it got me was 3 porcupines, 1 ptarmigan, and a stuck truck that someone with a winch was kind enough to pull out.
Next weekend hopefully will yield better results.

I'm in the same boat as you!
I guess my excitement is mostly to blame here. I have been about 40 from Valdez to Chitna to all my possible honey holes around the valley. Spent a small fortune on the fuel bill so far and all I have seen is land Locked river otter, lynx tracks, rabbit and some stinkin spruce hens!
I'm off to a bad start!
Been having a blast trying to find em though!

Old Sourdough saying: "Bear hunting is a Process, NOT an End. If you don't enjoy the Process, you won't enjoy the end".
Good hunting."Essential......to Prepping for Survival, is to be able to segregate, what you think will happen, from what you hope will happen, from what you fear will happen, from what is happening".
