Hey hunters!!!  Bow season for Bears looks to be near!   I got a bear that won't leave and is getting way to close to the house! There isn't any cohabiting with this bear.  I cant drive him off, and cant persuade him to stay in the woods, he tore up the dog, trash cans (nearly every day - even when empty).  The "be nice to bears" agencies suggest I just enjoy the bear but they don't seem to want to take him to their property!!   :bash:

 Anyone want to come out and dispatch this critter for me????

Just off Bond Road between Poulsbo and Kingston.  Kitsap Wa.

Tried this once before and got replies and lots of no shows.  So this time y'all will get 2 days at a time, until the bear is DEAD!.

I live 5 minutes away and would love come out. I live in Suquamish and and work on one of the Kingston Ferries.  Could come over for morning or evening hunts very regularly between any other guys coming out until it gets done. Not the first time I have heard about problem bears, though most of those are in belfair.  :chuckle: Only a few weeks away! I would be happy to swing by and check out the area and see if we can see where his normal travel route is. Maybe get a tree stand up or a ground blind if it would help. Pm coming with phone number.

Bump first.

Sounds like you have plenty of takers.  If for some reason that doesn't pan out I'm only a couple miles away in the "Hilltop' area.  I have a couple over here but they are into tearing thing up yet.  Maybe they see my on my range flinging arrows all the time so they keep their distance.  Anyway, PM if you would like, we do have a couple tags at the house to fill.

What? There are bears from belfair to silverdale but super slim pickins up north.  :dunno: :tup: I thought you lived up this way, you should know that!
Btw I have been in contact with the OP and know that at least one other hunter has come close to success already but I have yet to visit the property myself.
