spring bear success stories. please share.

I'm in. Love to help out.

  I Was Hoping You Would Chime In. Though IM Not Going To Be Picky, I Do Prefer The Bigger Bears You Seem To Shoot.
 
  Joking Aside Thanks To Both You Guys For Offering.  Not Many People Are Always Willing To Help As Much.

Bigger bears... bigger luck you mean.  I can be DD for the day (Designated Drunk).  I also have a working chainsaw to clear the backroads from Lake Roesiger up to Spada (not really, but I think you can get a lot closer than I got when I had my tag.)

I'd advise we schedule hunts at the bar for the first few weeks of the season.  You can start to get serious in May when the bears actually wake up.  I'll bring a cooler (mobile bar) for those trips.  Expect to shoot one memorial day weekend.

  I Plan On Hitting A Range For A Quick Zero Check This Comming Week.  Just Need To Figure Out Where.  Thinking The Marysville Rifle Range?  Need To Check It Out.

I typed a big thing, and it didn't go through.

In a nutshell, H20 is just freakin lucky.

We should hunt the first 3-4 weeks of the season at Hawkeye's Pub.

When the season does start, I can fill my mobile bar (yeti cooler) for bear road trips.

Expect to shoot one memorial day weekend when they finally come out to play.

H20 has a "truck" with no bed... his level of help is fine as long as there's no blood involved...

I'll take lucky.

The FJ has hauled two bears just fine. It can do a third easy enough.

Hawkeyes is known for some pretty big sows....might be worth an early season visit to stategize.

I had been planning to do some more predator calling this time.  It sounds like if I crack open a can of beer I could call in a different type of predator.

The help on this site is really incredible.   

Who is planning to make it to the Monroe meeting?

when did you get a yeti cooler?

[h20hunter]

If the Monroe meeting you are referring is like it was last year you should all go. It was held in Mill Creek and that is where we picked up gate keys. Well worth going.

[luvmystang67]

My bro is poor so its a small yeti, so it's good for a traveling cooler.  The problem is that it'll keep beer cold much longer than it'll last, given that it might only hold a case.  We really should have a strategizing bar get together...

You can borrow my fawn decoy...

h20hunter,

Yes, I was asking about the Mill Creek meeting where we can get the keys.  Last time I drew the tag there was no meeting.  We just showed up individually in Mill Creek to get our keys.

I am planning on showing up.  I find there is no shortage of new things I can learn.

[D-Rock425]

Maybe us bear hunters that didn't draw can set up a meeting at a local place so we're not left out.

I'll Be There For Sure!

I will be the 6' 9" red head.  I'm kind of hard to miss.  Come over and say hello.

We'll we drew kapowsin last year notellumcreek and I did, spent good time learning the areas, met the almighty WOODMAN one cool dude! We saw a couple great size bears to stalk, 1 we never saw while stalking he was kind of on the move, the other we stalked in some thicker marshy area he ran thru a 5ft wide clearing 30 yds in front of us as quick as lightning, head was in one side of clearing and butt was in the other side he knew we were there, were still to this day trying to figure out who crapped them selves first that bear or us... Haha but I'll give it success because we got to hunt had a great season and time up there met some cool guys up there too. And let alone we stalked 2 GOOD bears nothing happened but hey that's hunting and it was our first spring bear tags last year, we learned a lot from it.

This year we drew copalis... 2 years of spring bear in a row :-) if anyone has any tips there I'm all ears, don't need honey holes just maybe some tips on hunting that country. Be fun to make a few good weekend trips of it and I know were gonna have a blast because we will be hunting... I'm Getting excited for it to start!

It is very flat and very wet. The two seasons I drew it there was always a ton of brush pickers and cedar salvage going on. Some salvage by truck and some by helicopter. There is lots of area and I would start in the south west.
