Where are the biggest bears in the state?

[h20hunter]

Been chatting via PM with a member and he seems to think that the biggest bears are north end western wa bears. I've only downed one and seen a few since beginning hunting so I'm not the best judge. So, where in the state are the biggest?

NW WA...essentially where you live N.

Coastal Bears 

Thats what I would think too but ive never seen any whoppers (at least on this site) come out of any of the coastal units.

The goldendale area I think has some of the biggest bears in the state.  My grandpa ran hounds all over the whole state since the sixties.  A lot of his biggest bears killed were down there.  Lots of good food  and pretty mild winters.

wasnt there a 500 pounder shot in the methow this last season?  just trying to stir the pot a bit

honestly id would assume the coastal areas but we all know what the first and last words in assume are. i would thing that the SW part of the state would produce some bigguns as well but ive also helped drag a couple brutes out of the NCW area as well as helped and personally packed out a few backpack bears in NCW too, i have a backpack bear hanging on my wall haha

Depends on who's judging the size of them. I've seen so many 300 lb bears that wouldn't have weighed even close to 200... That said I've seen some really nice bears on Dales hunting thread, and have personally seen a bear killed in the copalis that was an honest 7ft bear.

Theres some big bears right near you. Look around granite and darrington. Seem like i see as many bears as deer in those areas.

There was a really big one killed in Kitsap a few years ago.  I know of some other big ones from Kitsap and the Olympic Pen that are big too.

Just might be due to the acorn corps there, lots of scrub oaks in them thar hills.
