Planning a Father/Son Bear Fall Hunt - 1st timer (modified from original)

[dune]

Just stick to grass and water and you will find bears

In the NE part of Washington, chokecherries are the ticket. Bears love them. They come out around maybe June and are dried up around August. This is a general take on the berries, because of the weather. Bears cannot leave chokecherries alone. They mostly seem to be in the gullies/canyons.

Will they come early campmeat due to low snow pack, or not come at all because of it?

Be advised that August bears don't really have good quality hides yet, mid September and beyond are better dates for bear hides for rugs and mounts.

I'm not sure when they'll come. I asked my wife, because she keeps track of stuff like this in her head, and she said what I posted. I always see a lot of them during July, until the bears get to them. They devastate the bushes until they're all gone.
