Kapowsin spring bears

[high voltage]

We'll I wasn't fortunate enough to draw my spring bear but I was nice enough to go down and put in for my step dad while he was out of town, of course he drew. First year for both of us up in hancock. Any hints on their spring habits. Not asking for secret spots. Just curious if any body has learned about them hancock bears and their springtime rituals. Up high? Down low? All over? Any help that can get me started on my leg work would be appreciated

Any luck up there for either of you thus far?
Went up friday and saturday, not much to speak of yet, save for one old pile. Only highlight was finding an antler....outside of an escapement area I swear

I would spend some time on the 500 road (main gate side obviously), usually walk in only.  I don't think its open even during spring bear or wasn't  when I drew.  After a mile or so in you should start seeing bear peels, and good sign on the road.

Last year the 5000 road was drivable during spring bear season. Good place to start though agreed.

Hi folks,
I also drew for Kapowsin. When do you usually see the mating season start? I was out there a few times, saw some sign but no bears yet.

I am the white range rover.

Hell I thought some greenie bought a Kapowsin pass, I stand corrected. 

Be up there tomorrow/Friday. White jeep

[Alexander.renz@gmail.com]

Yes. My tactics are: make the big boar think I am a greenie and then give him one with my lady gun Merkel K2.

I'm in there tonight I'll look for you boys

Anyone have any luck yet? I was down there Sunday and saw only one other rig, some deer and some older bear sign
