My son and buddy and I hunted out near the Quinault Res this past weekend. Hit the Wynoch lake area and nothing, then went up to the Col Bob wilderness area,,,tons of sign there, crap every where tore up berry patches. and loads of fir trees scratched up. Didn't see any Bears so went over to clearwater GMU north of the Quinault res. Some sign there but no bears again. Best bet would be later in the season for those place's I would say. 2 more weeks and South Cascades opens I know where they are in there so hopefully my son gets his first bear. best of luck, keep hunting!!!!!!!!!!
