Leavenworth bear hunting

[dc]

I will be camping with family in the Leavenworth area mid to late August.  Wondering if it would be worth taking my rifle and a bear tag?  Thanks for any help.  Dave

You'd be dumb not to! Lol

I've done a lot of bear hunting in that area. It's my favorite spot to go east of the cascades for bear.

No shortage of bear in those woods.

My first time in Leavenworth 2 yrs ago I spotted this guy from the parking lot of the condo I stayed at in town

I know a guy who lives in the Icicle in a "cabin", an old rock climbing friend. Bears have knocked his barbecue off his porch more than once.

That bear was right across from the beginning of  icicle up on the hill
