Well well, both Billy & Sayleen are what I call "professessors of the University of the Woods".  I have read their posts over the last few years & w/my limited "field experience" have realized they know what they are talk'in about.

Anytime I can be a hunt'in podner of either one of these would really be a treat!

Thats nice of you to say Sideswipe. I can say, without hesitation, Hunt wa has helped my hunting knowledge greatly, as has Billythekidrock with his bear posts/calling experiences. I have scoured his posts and he has taught me a ton. My brothers also got me into hunting bear, so I have to give them credit too. Let me know if you draw sometime, I would be happy to tag along for a day or so in a skagit or monroe unit.

Saylean,
     
         I see a major flaw in your info on "West Side" Spring Bear. :(

You repeatedly mention "sun" and "sunshine" :o :dunno:

 :dunno: What is this of which you speak? :dunno: :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle: 

Any buddy looked outside this time of year over here - especially this year? :dunno:

Seriously though, thanks for sharing the great info guys. :tup:
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

Most of the seasons dont start over here till April 15th...by then, it should be partly sunny with rain shower, instead of rain showers that are partly sunny.  :tup: :chuckle:

I must say that Saylean has put together a great post. I was fortunate enough to draw a spring permit in Kapowsin, so I am going to try and use some of your great advice to harvest my first bear. Thanks for taking the time to help educate all of us.   :tup:

Thanks, I think I will need it based on the previous years harvest ratio. I only live 15 minutes from the gate though, so I will be putting in plenty of time over the next couple of months.

Great info in this thread.  I am hoping to bag my first bear after many, many years of attempting to bring one home.

 :tup: It's those that take the time to teach the next generation of hunter's that will save the future of our sport! I applaud you and this article!!

I spent 10 years hunting with a former "bear guide" and learned more reading this article than I ever did in the field with him....some people have a knack for passing on knowledge and some people....

I very much appreciate the time you put into sharing this knowledge! Good hunting to you :tup:
