Leavenworth
« on: August 08, 2012, 12:16:40 PM »
Hi guys,  :hello:
being that this is one of my first posts i dont expect too much information, but a buddy of mine and i are headed to Leavenworth area this weekend to see if we can find some bears.  If you have any little tips you could offer we sure would appreciate it. 
We hunt deer in the area, but have yet to search for bears and just need a few starting places.
thanks so much!

I hear the Lake Wenatchee area is good for bears, especially the White River area.  I don't hunt bears, so you won't be encroaching on my area.

I went down there last year for bear. It was so thick you couldn't see 2 feet in front of you. I had not luck calling either. Plus, every open area seemed to have a million dollar cabin on it, not good. I'd try maybe Blewitt Pass area myself.

The best tactic I heard was to float the White River.  Bears come down to drink.  Caution:  If you shoot one and it lands in the water, get to it quickly.  In spite of all the fat, they sink like a rock!

I have hunted that area hard for the last two years. It isn't the best place, but it is ok. The White River area is very thick with brush.

If you try this make sure you stop, or get out of the boat. I think thats what the law is, but I am not sure. Look into it, but I am just quoting waterfowl regs.

You can shoot from watercraft as long as its not under direct power by a motor or still has momentum from the motor.
