I figure everyone is out scouting for next weeks opener or the one on the 15th.
I am riding my bike on trails to see if I spot one.

May have to go see if that big boy is still walking around in my corner. there is a stump that would be perfect to put my caller on.....a little fawn distress maybe.......good bow range....

I'll just go ahead and throw out an offer to be a pack mule for when you get your bear. Id like to see how to dress out a bear before I get elbow deep in my own lol.

I'll tell you what....stop by for a brew sometime...we can exchange phone numbers...I'll do the same. My fall bear and this years spring bear both ended up being a couple of us standing around the garage helping here and there. We have a nice batch of bear hunters in the area....myself, D-Rock, Fishtiq, Buckmark, Luvsmystang....all in the general area.

I would much rather dress a bear than a deer. Easier I think.

They can move around, I've located 9 or 10 different bears in my scouting this year, one spot that held only a few bears last yr is loaded with sign this yr.  another spot that I found 20 to 30 peels and no less than 20 piles of scat on a mile of grade last yr is totally vacant this yr.  Cover lots of ground and look for obvious sign, they probably are just working a little different area this yr.  Dont need to focus so much on actually seeing a bear until season opens, just find the sign so you know where to start

Have never truly hunted for bear, bear season has always been a reason to pack a rifle while scouting deer/elk.  This year won't be any different, but good luck to everyone putting their time in!
