Was in there on Friday.  Found a really fresh peel.  I missed this bear by less than a couple hours.  Some poo with fur in it.  About the size of a cow pie.  Decided to come back to the area I had seen the peel in later in the afternoon as it was right near a clearcut.  Was planning to see if I could call something out of the timber.  I parked about 100 yds from the dead end where I found the peel.  As I was climbing out of my truck a brand new red Chevy 1500/2500 passes me and proceeds to the end of the road and parks.  Really buddy?!  Hats of to you to being a complete tool!

That's why you park in middle of the road on those dead ends. No pics of the archery bear since it wasn't mine or anyone I knew. It was feeding on the edge of a clear cut from the story I got.

We were in a super hot area tonight. We had one spur road about a mile long that we walked and counted 26 peels. Super fresh. Fresh poop but no bear. Be out again in 2 weeks after we get back from CA.  Fun day still!

I was out all weekend.  Saw a bunch of fresh scat and peels, but no bears.  Tried calling for a couple of hours but just brought in a bull Elk.  Heard a shot on Saturday just before noon, not sure if they connected with anything.

I was in there Friday.  This was probably around 2:30 on Friday.  And it was a brand spanking new Chevy.  Kind of a dick move by that guy if you ask me.

There's some real winners in there. One of my favorites was two deer seasons ago. I was stopped in middle of a dead end road not 100 yards from the end of it. Standing on the running board watching a group of bucks. Guy pulls up behind me, I ignore him. Bout 5 min goes by and I give him the what do you want shrug. He gets out and asks if I'm goin to let him by. I just laughed in his face and said no. Man that guy was pissed, and told me I was a dick for not letting him by. Yeah sure buddy come right around me for the 100 yards left on the road, while your at it go ahead and shoot that buck I've been watching, anything else would make me a dick. I didn't shoot any of those deer, wasn't ever planning on it but he didn't know that. Have at least a little curtesy

As bad as it can be it's still head and shoulders above anywhere else when it comes to gen season around here

Well I have a Kapowsin tag and have yet to venture out. Crazy busy schedule lately but hopefully this weekend.  A friend of mine helped another hunter get his first bear out of there then proceeded to arrow one for himself a couple of days later. An sweet looking old boar he named tripod due to it having a good part of one of it's legs missing. I'll check to see if he wants to share some pictures.

Seems odd that someone can kill a bear, then arrow one a few days later when I've only seen one bear ever up there and rode my bike 100+ miles. Whats the trick?

Hey Duck - I'll probably be spending time in there this weekend. I'm a newb to the area but have a few places that looked good last weekend and got some 411 from Longwalker too! PM me if interested.

I heard a single shot yesterday at 2:03 - any news? Hopefully it was  from Hunt WA member... It was about 1-2 miles from my location while glassing a clearcut and eating lunch.

I've not seen a single bear; OK sign (just OK), decent # of blacktail does and watched a nice 5x? elk high in the timber for about 45 minutes.
