Kapowsin - Spring 2013

[Pygmy]

Bob Williams, don't give up man. They're in there.  Like I was telling Woodman, in a moment you can be in the right place at the right time and - 'Kapow!' Just never know.  I spent three hours on Sat. hiking the thick timber in the pouring rain trying to get to an area that looked bearish from across the valley.  No fur, but had a great time.  Beats smelling car fumes in the city.  Let's get Kapowsin on the board!

[Bob Williams1]

Nah I'll never give up on them and if i don't bag sumpin in the spring they'll be on the menu in the fall. Having never hunted in there before, seeing this as a depredation type hunt i would have figured there would have been at least one seen by me even if he was so far away there was no shot, maybe something cross the road 1000 yards a head. Something to give ya a little momentum. I have not seen any trees being thrashed or an animal running for cover as he pushed through an opening. Nothing at all in probably 60 -80 hours in the field since the opener and thousands of acres glassed!

Obviously they're in there as is evident by the peels we find but i'll be damned if i can find them... or anybody else that's in this forum at this point..Or any of the other hunters i've talked with out in the field along the way.. Thats a lot of people...A lot of  combined knowledge and hours and hours in the field with a goose egg on the board..Gettin a little frustrated 

Was expecting better that's all

I'll keep after them and hopefully the longer weekend with provide somebody with a treasured memory.

Best of luck Brett

Bob

Its all good! Billdo likes to ruffle feathers. Lucky for him tho I know who he is  if I wasn't at home helping a wife who's father just had a quadruple bypass surgery I would play his little game but ooh well.

Nice!
I am going to make a road trip down to Lower Columbia Community College on Friday as my son is a pitcher for Mt. Hood C.C. and they are playing in the final four NWAAC Championships. Don't know yet what time because his game is predicated by how they do Thursday in the opener.. But it's either 12:30 Friday afternoon (If they lost)  or 7:30 Friday night (If they won). Also have a buddy from a predator hunting club who wants to make a run down by Olympia to deal with some problem coyotes on this ladies property. Good job for 22-250 ye haw.
Let me know what you guys are gonna do so i can pick the fight early and run out of the house with my huntin stuff!!! HAHAHAHAAHAA.. Just kiddin on that but i will have to share some time unless she works the weekend.

[elk247]

Stack em' up Bob! Good luck to your son's team also.

[Bob Williams1]

Thanks Elk247..

Gonna be tough livin in THAT tournament as there are a lot of kids who have dreams and desires of playing big league or bigger school baseball and that energy can be tough to harness...Especially as an opposing pitcher.. I still love to watch him play as much as i did when they were all a bunch of little kids in little league and then all the select years and travel.
ahhhhh..the memories...

[liljozie495]

Is it the weekend yet... I'm ready to go boom boom with the bears 

[billdo5]

Go now...

[liljozie495]

I would if there was no such thing as bills in my life and work 

[taylorb]

Heading up on Sunday, got a few cam's up (or had them up a few weeks ago)... hopefully I'll get one.

[Bob Williams1]

Good luck Taylor-

Funny about the cams but not really..I hope all your stuff is still in place with some good pics so you can compare photo's with the beast on the ground!!

Good luck and get Kapowsin on the board!
