Bear Hunting JBLM
« on: August 18, 2013, 05:56:02 PM »
Just got stationed at JBLM from the east coast. I'm ready to get out in the woods somewhere for Bear. Was thinking about registering to hunt on JBLM and was wondering if someone could show me the ropes out there. I'm in the puyallup area. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Unfortunately, for the most part, squirrel hunting is not allowed in this state.

You can hunt squirrels but it's somewhat difficult to tell the species apart and shooting the endangered/threatened ones is a pretty big deal.

Any squirrels on JBLM would most likely be either Western Grey Squirrels, which are an endangered species, or Douglas squirrels, which are plentiful, but still 100% protected.

Welll....now that you mention it, the Pigmy Rabbit is endangered and protected!  But the good news, I don't believe they are around this area, I believe they are mostly central/eastern side critters.

Rabbit can be plentiful depending where you go. They open up on Sept 1 here in Washington. Along with all the other small game (I believe). I been out for bear already with no sign, seen LOTS of bobcat sign, and one actual cat, but season wasn't open yet :P

I would recommend trying for grouse instead of rabbits. You might even run into some rabbits while grouse hunting. But I think in general it will be easier to find grouse than rabbits.

You can find grouse north of lewis lake in the training areas there, see them all the time while driving back there, Kicked up some rabbits doing some final scouting for deer as well

That's why they are there. THEY KNOW THEY CAN'T BE HUNTED THERE.
My Dad worked for Game Dept while I was growing up. One thing he told me..........They know when hunting season is........they know where the closed areas are........and they know when hunting season is over....Any other time of year you can't get rid of them. But hunting season..........you ain't gonna see one. :tung:

That's becouse the game department gives them the regs 2 weeks before we do.

Deer hunting is allowed on North Fort. TA2 is Archery only  and is open to deer hunting. I took a good buck off there two years ago and see good bucks all the time. also the marsh and lake Sequalitchew have good duck hunting.
