Anyone see bear in the Mt Rainier area?

[Smossy]

Heading out in the morning with my girls pops to try and stick a bear. He thinks he knows some places in the Mt Rainier area but I just want to get a confirmation people have actually seen some.

Glacier View Wilderness. It covers some of the westside of the Mount Rainier boundary.

Lots of berries around 4 to 5 thousand ft now, look for the food, good optics and lots of patience. Good luck

Hey Smossy, that place I PM'd you for rabbit is a great place to check for bears. If I wasn't in the process of training a new lab, that  is where I would be.

Keep this in mind, many of us that spend a ton of time in the woods don't usually see bear. When your reading these bear stories on this site remember, it's not normal to see a bear when you go bear hunting, it just isn't as easy as it seems. When guys talk about seeing 2 or 3 bears in a day and missing 1 and getting 2 more the same day, that just means it was a bait station and that's the only time you see 3 bears in one day unless its spring bear. I'm not against baiting but it funny how many bears are being seen and killed in one day around here, it's not the norm to see that many bears boot hunting. Your also trying to kill a bear the hardest way, bow with no bait on a boot hunt! I hope you whack monster!

I understand, Im not expecting to fill any tags, but like I said. I just want to know there is atleast animals in the area. "I know I should be scouting" But Its kinda something her pops been wanting to do for awhile now because he never gets a chance to get out being as hes a long haul truck driver, is only ever home at like 5 or 6 days a month if that. Plus I need to get out and get a feel of being a predator.

i have also, cubs with mom. I'm not saying it never ever happens but it not as easy as some are representing. That's all, and its not like they can advertise they are baiting.
