Kapowsin Spring Bear

Has anyone came across any fresh sign or seen any bears ? I haven't yet but they should be moving around pretty soon

We haven't found any fresh sign yet , still kind of early . Grasses are coming in but still not that lush . Last year we really didn't find any good peels until May .

Nothing yet.. I was up sunday did see 2 big bull still packing horns.

Im sure they will start moving around after this close to 80 degree weather in the next couple of days. Skunk cabbage is looking ripe right now just ran around in there yesterday.

You won't find peels until the cambium starts running.

Is there a way to tell when it starts running ?

Many bears here on the west side have been up since that really warm week we had in feb. and even more in march. when you start seeing the new green growth that's when the really start to peel, but some have been for a couple weeks due the the warmer weather of the last 50 60 days. the skunk cabbage really came in early this year

Around May 12th was the beginning of the peels we saw last year. They really got going after that & we saw them everywhere.

They will start peeling trees, when you notice the new growth on the Doug firs.

We went up last night , with this weather the grass is coming in good . We hiked into a couple areas that look promising but still no sign . The grouse are starting to talk and we came across a rag horn 4X4 bull that was still packing . We have a couple cameras up , we're going to check them next Wed. If any of you are heading up remember your Thermacell , the mosquito are thick !

Bushbuster , that was about the same time we found a lot of peels on the Bridge side last year . There is a 2 - 3 acre area that is going to be solid red this year .

We were up there yesterday- pulled our cameras- One had  gotten the card stolen the other had deer and elk, no bear.
Tromped around quite a bit didn't see any sign yet. We did get some action on a coyote but he busted us.

I was in Lynch creek last week, saw some tracks in the swamp where my son shot his bear last year
