Thats what i thought. I was out this am and found sigh on the road so we went up on a dnr road that you can hunt and went up about 2 miles and come on a clear cut with the food so i found where the bear came. So fri we are going to get up their about 5 and wait and call. But food all the way up to the clear cut. Thanks for the tip

Just remember that it may take a while for him to show up.  You may have to move to another spot after an hour to 2 hours of calling.

Can you find maps for DNR land/ roads I'm trying to find public land north of Spokane and am having a hard time

It's not even always that it takes a while for me to show up. Often times they are there just can't see them in the thick bushes. Most berry patches I hunt are 3-4ft high.

I agree with the idea that they are always out and about even if you don't see them. Last year I got a bear early in the morning on wild blueberries. This last Friday I got a bear at almost 6 in the evening on blackberries. "They are where you find them"
Good luck!

Find Blueberries or Oregon grapes and you have a good chance of finding bear ....At this time of year I would hunt all day if needed to be ...lots of glassing and waiting ...bear will feed until they are full and then after a little nap they will be back at it in no time  If your hunting the wetside ...never seen Oregon Grapes on the eastside

I found the food. but the food is not all in one spot it spread all round. this is my frist year so any tip is a good tip. thanks guys. im up in the hill of duvall. I want to fill a cat tag has well any tip on them,i know they don't like being seen. I scouting out bear and I saw deer tracks with cat tracks.

Short of having hounds, or spooking one into a tree... there isn't really a good tip on Cougars... Bobcats are a lil easier, Cougs are smart, and stealthy!
