Went predator calling last night up at Snoqualmie. Get set up at the top of a hill, call for a bit(ten minutes) then some quads go by near the bottom of the hill.....sigh...walk in only area and see quads...what else is new.
I think that it might be a waste of time, but I decided to keep trying for a bit. Not more than 5 minutes later, I see a bear standing up about 500 yards down the hill looking around. I blow some more and here she comes....with cub in tow! Cute little guy. Here is one of the videos I took of them.
In this first video, watch as the cub jumps off the stump and falls like 5 feet (about 14 secs into it)....she was trying to find a way down without having to jump, but then decides to go for it.

I watched them for about an hour and finally spooked them away at 60-70 yards..
More videos to come.
Here is where I scared her off....she was only getting closer and I wanted to make sure we were all going home safe.

Here is the second time I saw them...originally they were bout 500 yards off...here they are bout 200 or less...this is after they had tried to circle me for wind.
