A great thread at the top of the bear section...............lots of effort and time.........browse that for starters...

Find a partner with some bear hunting experience and tag along.

There are some monsters around Hunters I'm surprised you don't see sign.  My buddies ride some state land up there horseback and run across them often.  There was some good articles in the old Fishing and Hunting News that had some Washington maps and where to find them.  I don't know if a person could still get them to pull up on google since they went out of business. are you looking for a high altitude hunt or something easier?

Bear sign is a little different on this side of the hills.....I dont see the tree peels and a few other things that i saw so much of on the wetside.....more stump damage, tuber digging......gonna keep my eye on some promising berry patches....I skipped bear last year just did not have the money or time.....however this year its on ...... I got my tag and I am ready come august hope to get very serious and find a yogi.....

Hey dont be giving away my spots  Besides C-Post is a better area filled with tons of big bear. A first timer can easily get a bear there

Years ago I used to watch lots of them up above Winthrop.
